@CorbinSchuster One of these forms of packaging fills a truck up more efficiently & is safer than the other & it’s not the tall one with loops at the top, hand wheeled from press to scales then I use silage grabs to load my truck to local carrier depot, when it gets to Melbourne it’s all robotic

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@ChookSinge I still do it, drill then use reo bar with the ribs, with a hook bent in the end it never comes out

@KimbarPark These haven’t been in since shearing in late August so have done well feet wise, they were in a paddock that was winter cleaned (Verdict + Simazine)so had bare spots for them to camp. We have had some scald in lambs but have sorted them out with one run through with zinc

2025 drop Merino ewes in for a pre joining draft to take out the classed out culls & get to meet the Rams before their first joining in a fortnight, they’ve been on good feed & are in great condition, these girls cut 18.4 micron wool at $19/kg #merino #sheep #wool

Whoever has been telling local retail stores to only stock 2.4m 100nb strainers can get stuffed, I’m not digging them in that deep

@agronomybrady Saw them delivering one through Culcairn today but they haven’t moved many past my place going West like they used to lately

@cosfarming @BarlooStud We join on 7th Nov & I’ve had my ewes a long way from any rams since August, will have to bring them in to draft & I suppose that can get them to start to cycle

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@shovel_chris That’s a picture that some of us can hear, that kind of grinding/whining as it speeds up & bounces across the paddock

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@lawbal44 The block where I bulked up these last year was great summer dry stubble feed, this will go into crop next year, either canola or grazing wheat

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

Koala Oats, leafy & cut some nice silage & the rest will go to harvest, this was a pasture paddock with low Lucerne numbers so after ewes were lambed down in April/May I sowed 50kg/ha Koala after a Paraquat Boxer Gold spray pre sowing

@CKMonty You’ve got some classic horns there, do you ever give them a trim, we used to take the tips off after the first joining & it made them easier to handle in races & yards

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@grassrootsag @brodenholland Mine was looking good till a hail storm hit Monday afternoon, interesting combination of no grain left in head & some stems snapped but currently plump, still a long way from harvest

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@Dirtwork1972 You can’t carry them out of the pen like you had to in the 1800’s

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@ChookSinge You probably got blamed for borrowing & not returning it when he lost that spanner 🔧

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@tofar1 Yes when I mixed it with an SC formulation of Alpha Cyp rather than the usual
EC

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@CKMonty @BenmorrisMorris I asked him if he had some with smaller horns in the sale as id bought them I the past & he said he’s been keeping them for their commercial flock, I see #1 was a PP good & also so were all of the first 8 which is impressive if he’s bred them from horns

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@BenmorrisMorris @CKMonty Both of these are out of Poll studs, sometimes full horns & sometimes small, you don’t want sweaty poll, or a fold that keeps moisture, or too small that they get broken off but I’ve bought some good ones that others walk by, I’m paying good money but breeding flock sheep

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@BenmorrisMorris @CKMonty PP over a HH you will get wethers/rams with mainly horns, second gen you’ll be putting PP over PH so can get some where it won’t be an issue, never had an issue in flock wethers but passed on Rams that were fly traps on sale day, have bought very good rams with small wether horns

[Tim Coyle @coyle_tim]

@CKMonty Did well, proper poll Merino & not some glorified Saam, dohne or bond
