Give one of Beef Australia's mentees a hand! Millie Unthank, a Graeme Acton Beef Connections mentee, is surveying cattle producers across Australia ahead of Beef27 & wants WA producers in the results. The survey is anonymous and takes around six minutes: https://t.co/AAhAFUyHHm

Good one to have a listen to & learn more about ARGT, you can get a free test kit through DPIRD now. If you are in Esperance, Andrea Hill at DPIRD Esperance office has kits on hand.

Free Annual Ryegrass Toxicity test kits available!
Help @DPIRDbroadacre improve ARGT detection, surveillance & risk prediction tools. They are aiming to capture more hay producers/fodder purchases in the Esperance zone. 10min survey & you can then register for a test kit.

Summer is just around the corner. October is a great time to inspect troughs, tanks and pipelines, and review your plan and stock water supplies before temperatures rise 💧

🌾 New grain dust limits are due on 1 December, but growers still lack clear, consistent advice on what will be required of them.
With harvest underway, SEPWA is calling on the WA Government to defer the new limit until these questions are resolved.

Can changing how and when you graze lift pasture and stock performance?

Join us in Darkan Thu 5 Nov, 9am-2pm, for a hands-on workshop and a visit to our rotational grazing trial site. Small hobby blocks to large operations welcome.

Suzie Styles managed mustering sheep whilst capturing some damn good photos at ASHEEP & BEEF's Spring Field Day this year! Suzie has used a DJI Air 2S regularly to muster stock over the last 4 years, as well as for crop and water point checks. Thanks for the demo!

Good to have @Zoetis in the area sharing info about commercial heifer genomics tools. Interesting to consider how genetic testing could be applied to in commercial herds - something our Cattle Committee has been mulling over. Pics below thanks to Sinead O'Gara and Ben Fletcher.

We're hitting the road again! Feb 2027 for a cattle study tour through farming areas across southern WA. Know a farm, demo site, or business that’s doing something worth seeing? Dry-season & drought resilience will be a focus + other topics. Send us your ideas!

Annual ryegrass toxicity (ARGT) is a potentially fatal poisoning of livestock after consuming annual ryegrass infected by the bacterium Rathayibacter toxicus (formerly known as Clavibacter toxicus). Grazing animals are susceptible to ARGT, including sheep, cattle, horses and pigs

[ASHEEP & BEEF @ASHEEPBEEF]

Could ARGT be impacting your farm? @DPIRDbroadacre is building a clearer picture of ARGT across WA by asking producers to take part in research to modernise detection, risk prediction and management. Complete the survey and register for a FREE test kit: https://t.co/eoRfxjpZV7

Heifer genomic DNA testing info session with @Zoetis in Condingup next week at the Tavern! RSVP to Sinead or Ben. Learn about tools on offer to better understand the make up and direction of Angus and Angus cross cattle.
