Pretty happy with our crops given below average rainfall. 🌱 We got to see a different view of some wheat chasing down some escapees…

Classing our worker merino rams, we rely on a mixture of physical appraisal and data collection to determine which animals we use.

Lambs are well and truly on the ground! At preg scanning we separate ewes into twins, triplets and singles so that we can appropriately monitor each group, and in drier seasons, provide adequate supplementary feed.

Throwback to preg scanning in May, when things were a bit drier! #northstirlingdowns #greatsouthern #westernaustralia #sheep #sheepfarming #sheepyards #drone

As the crops poke up, occasionally snails do too 🐌. Snail baiting, spreading fertiliser and spraying weeds are some of the jobs done during the growing season. #northstirlingdowns #greatsouthern #westernaustralia #mixedcropping #crop #snails #tractors

Shearing, fleece weighing & wool sampling our future merino ewe and ram breeding stock earlier this month. The data collected is a small part of a bigger picture. #sheep #merino #shearing #wool #northstirlingdowns #greatsouthern #westernaustralia #sheepfarming

We’ve posted a lot about our sheep lately, but we’re also harvesting. Sometimes there’s no room in the paddock to load the grain. 🌾 #northstirlingdowns #harvestaustralia #harvest2022 #greatsouthern #westernaustralia #crop #canola
