September Blog

The weather remains kind and lambing is in full swing at the start of the month.  Due to synchronizing with the teaser rams its a tight lambing with 80% lambing on the first cycle.  With school holidays starting on 21 September its full swing into tailing lambs and tractor work as the ground is prepared for pasture renewal.  First grazing of all lucerne paddocks commences - lush, high quality feed for yearly deer and mobs of ewes and their lambs, mobbed up after tailing.  A visit by the FarmIQ team of Steve and Aaron rounds up the month as we try to get Lyndon, Eldon and Mel up to speed with this cloud based farm management system.  To be fair Eldon is the principal driver of the project.  We have an open mind on what it will do for our business as we cannot see the cost benefit return, at this point in time.
