Sick of poor/non existant mobile phone coverage so set up a wireless bridge and 30 acre outdoor wifi from starlink at the house. 10 to 100x faster speeds within 500 metres of the wifi mount. Only costs 700 dollars total. Will be glad to see the end of the telstra reliance.

The team at @Marbarrup were busy this week EMD & fat scanning the MA ewes collecting their pre-joining WT & CS. Research suggests that fat measurements may be an indicator of whole body energy, so we’re hoping this data will contribute to better understanding the correlation.

The team at @Marbarrup were busy shearing their 23-drop rams earlier this week. Another key bit of data collected to help with selection decisions! These rams now have their full data sets incl. wool scores, fibre tests (e.g. micron), feet & hock scores, EMD & fat scans more!

This is a truly exceptional post-race interview - Jemima Montag after claiming bronze in the 20km walk
Salient messages delivered with clarity and passion … straight after giving her all through the streets of Paris
Outstanding 👏

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Looking back over the past month of welcoming Merinotech’s next generation as lambing draws to a close. Pedigree, BT, BWT & sex recorded at birth for all lambs along with MBS, kicking off their data collection. Excited to see how these progeny perform! facebook.com/share/r/RQPfJ1v…

A brief intermission from lambing today for fat and muscle scanning of the 2023-drop rams. This rounds out data collection on the rams. Now to finalise the keepers and sale team!

You couldn’t hope for more for a set of triplets! These three girls are of reasonable size and have an exceptional mum, that sits in the top 20% for WR, with a massive supply of milk and four years experience up her sleeve. Apparently the stick reader needed some cleaning too!
