Baiting on your property? If you have working dogs or family pets on farm, a muzzle is a great way to protect those animals from taking a potentially lethal bait. Whether starting fresh or muzzle resistant, has awesome resources to train your best mate.

Severe pig damage stretching for kilometres was recently recorded along part of the Irwin River. In more positive news, a mallee fowl was spotted in an area in Mingenew that had been cleared out of a dense feral pig population - a positive sign that the area's rehab is on track!

Working dogs are the backbone of many livestock businesses so it makes sense that they are producers’ top priority when planning feral predator control programs. Protect your dogs when implementing a control program on your property.
