Dear Employers, Not saying I'm pro or anti-vaxer but people don't respond well to threats, try offering incentives for vaxed employees before jab or FO.
You're welcome, Vicky
P.S $1000 bonus will cost you less in the long run ✌

@madalynrose So lucky. Compared to what I receive when I clearly said I was taking a mental health day. Obviously needed.

@EmCharlotteAnn @techeweup @SamuelJHigham @sheepGeekCP @KellyPearce7 @kelly_gorter @james_ag_ Earmarks are a legal requirement which needs to be revised. the earmark theory wouldn't stand up in court.Imagine saying to a judge "no, I took that notch out of the ear so it's mine"
You'd be laughed right out the door.

Current “genetic” best practise if you have horns or wooly wrinkly bums is to select for poll gene or assortment of clean smooth bum genes.

“Best” practise 2050?

With the shortage of backpackers for seeding there may be an opportunity for those being laid off in the hospitality industry to fill the gap! @WAFarmersGrains @WAFarmers

I've only been waiting for this course for almost a decade! Every time it came up it conflicted with another commitment. So this week I FINALLY attend a Low Stress Stock Handling course!

The course lived up to its reputation!🙌

@basalttobay Not so much teeth but top jaw, sheep dont have top teeth. They need the jaw inline with their bottom teeth to be able to eat.

Couldn't be more proud of my #sheepers from Esperance Ag taking out first in the AWI wether comp at the Perth Royal Show. First time Esperance has ever won a ribbon in the sheep! They selected, prepared and handled the wethers to provide a beautiful group of 4. #merino #wool

@Pinchgut_Creek I read half then stopped, most meat is raised and handled humanly. Most the time the farmers dont know if it's going to the local butcher or big supermarket. So your argument is redundant.

We need to boost #maternalefficiency across the national flock. How could we do that? I’m hoping to find out practical on-farm solutions through my postgrad research.
