Had about 5 go's at writing something on here seems to be a problem it may be the reason theres few posts on here lately..

We have sold our last 20 bullocks topped out at 600kg so knocking the head count back helped immensely. Currently spelling the property. Now do we restock at these prices? Ken do you have any advice here? Sit it out for a few more months?? Thanks

Good to see alot of us are getting some good rainfall. Weve had well over 1 metre this year making the weeds thrive. We have a problem with rait tail atm. It spreads quickly and grows so fast. A question for anyone in the know whats the best 12 volt pump?? Ive tried various ones but trying to...

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply & yes you are correct in saying we are in a more relaxed state about it now. Will never overstock again grass = money (fat cattle). We are understocked atm but the grass still cant get in front of them. Will try and fatten these last fellas out and sell to the...

Hi everyone, yep busy. I hear prices have soared?? I havent been on here for ages but I heard yesterday theyve lifted by about immensely up our way. We sold 75 % of our holding when prices were down so hard to have a win!

Hi all hope all is well. Just an update on my situation we just sold nearly all our steers in one go to a private buyer for pretty cheap while they are in good condition. Had a fair bit of rain at our place no frost yet so thought get the head count right down spell it for 3 months then start...

When it rain it pours up our way. 400mm at Agnes and we are just south of there and really copping it now!

Had about 75mm at our place and still counting. Still another few inches to come i think. Should get some good growth out of this lot. Down to 60 head now so we should get back on track. Gladstone is copping a pounding and we are getting there dregs atm i hope we dont cop what they are getting...

Ok cheers Suzie Q. We have plenty of water that will never be an issue on our property. I think we are down to manageable amount now so might hold tight. We got 1/2 inch fri night it all helps. Unfortunatly the ones with horns were the ones we paid the most for. My neighbour said he will help us...

Hi Ken, thanks for the input it makes sense. Im very tempted to sell the lot & start again.Some of the bigger ones have horns which knocks the resale price around a bit too ive found out too. Heading down south for a few weeks so might reasses when i return home. Our problems are only minor...

Hi guys, hard work this cattle bussiness. We sold some more steers at a loss again. Halved our stock so hopefully it helps. We overstocked but will only do it once. Problem we have is some of our steers are cracking teeth so they call it. Becoming 4 tooths. Feedlots are the only ones buying in...

:( Very sorry to hear jilleroo. I so hope you get some soon surely it cant be too far away. Im hearing late march theres a heap coming so fingers crossed! Havinago

Thank Ken. Better off cutting our losses and try to fatten the others. Had a call this morning saying they are looking alot better already :) Did my facebook attachments work anybody?? Bring on the rain...

Sold 1/3 of our stock a month ago at a loss. Grass still not catching up. Its green but no length. Might have to sell more soon if we dont get any rain. Good lesson dont overstock no matter how cheap you think they are! One of them have a large sack hanging under his neck. Any ideas what this...

Solid effort jilleroo, that is a big credit to your hubby he should be proud. Noone has spoken about the reopening of live cattle export but i think that will help heaps in the near future, stop the northerners bringing there stock down our way ;) Can i ask how often do you guys give your cattle...

Hey jilleroo, we got 30mm. Not too bad, some more over the next few nights would be great! We really need to start spelling paddocks properly. The internal fencewire is pretty sad needs attention. Always something to do thats for sure!

Getting some really good rain at ours atm :) Must have been all the roundbales i had delivered yest did the trick!
