These lambs are 12 weeks old and haven’t seen Mum for over 20 days. This year marks 22 years of weaning 12 weeks Av age and the last 14 years of weaning under 10 weeks. Barriers to adoption are? Laziness , shit fences, knowledge of ewe recovery, knowledge of GRs .. weaning do it!

Can I afford not to scan?
20 yrs ago I was ridiculed by a well known WD farm consultant at a public forum when I suggested that all merino ewes should be scanned for multiples. I’ll never forget it. “I didn’t what I was talking about.”Can’t believe it’s still questioned by some .

I’m sorry but rural victoria needs a seperate roadmap from regional and urban victoria. We need Agriculture at full speed and the industries that support it fully functional. Sorry but encouraging tourism in rural victoria can hold off. That’s asking for trouble. AG is No 1 ok. $

Exactly right. Agriculture is an absolute core. It will now take the number 1 spot in driving the state and most likely Nat economy. Instead of building clogged up ring roads/ tunnels maybe rural infrastructure such as water pipelines and rail become top of priorities

All state Govts especially Vic need to make sure meat processing is in full capacity this Spring. Over supply will decrease price received and forcibly drive farm profits down causing stress on our economy. All Agriculture crucial to Australia. Ag No1 earner.
