Excited to be a part of a business offering workable alternatives for farmers at a time when inputs are getting so costly. Lime. The real OG.

I really could do without the shit chat from the female commentator on the @Olympics equestrian events 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ll keep whoever “John” her counterpart is, at least sounds like he’s got a bit of a clue!

I know this is long, but I wanted to make a few comments about tomorrow’s protests:
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am passionate about the Primary Sector. They know both sides of my family have farmed for generations, and that both my parents continue to work in the sector

The count down is on to our Autumn Field day. Our hosts Di & Dougal McIntosh farm 1200ha on the outskirts of Whanganui. 650ha of their property is in a mix of tree stands including eucalyptus, regenerative native Bush and deodar. See you on Wednesday to learn more

@ShearwellNZ Did Alan get a bruise on his finger from putting the tags in the applicator? I did 😅

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

@ISHS_CMFV Oh without a doubt! Whoever Jeff & Eric are I suspect it won’t be the last we hear of them ...

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

The @BillBailey live show in Palmy tonight was evidence why NZ couldn’t be in lockdown any longer than we were, it seems we as a general population have gotten weirder en masse, and the road to recovery is long

@AuntThistledown The worse the spelling the more rapid the demise of any integrity that they may be clinging to...

@shelleyDewHopki Not sure if this is an offical rule anywhere? But used the Paul Kennyon podcast on hogget mating as our bible and haven’t gotten below 100% in the 3 years we’ve done it!

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

Very much enjoyed @DrNicolaDennis’s piece for @CountryWideNZ November issue. Well written and oh-so relevant, I’ve long had qualms with rules made up based on solely modelling/simulations ...

@dollyalderton @thehighlowshow The heart break is real 😣😭 💔

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

Just received a phone call to notify us of our FIFTH audit in 18 months!! Good grief! Anyone could be mistaken for thinking the right hand isn’t talking to the left....

Our Spring Cover of Shepherdess. Featuring Pania Tepaiho Marsh of Wahine Toa Hunting, empowering so many women. Out next week! Thankyou to @NZBeefLamb @AWDTNZ @RuralWomenNZ @LemonfaceDesign for your continued support. #magazine #publisher #springedition

A perfect 100% pregnancy scanning in our hogget ewes. Back 8% on last year, but an awesome result despite the summer dry and the horrific effects of grass staggers on our farm this autumn

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

A thought provoking evening at the @ruralinnovate bootcamp, great to hear stories from Honest Wolf & Spiers foods innovating their way into the future @kristy_mcgregor

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

“If service is beneath you, then leadership is beyond you” epic opening for the @ACREHorizons winter forum with @MirianaStephens

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

Ewes shedded up for pre-lamb shearing tomorrow

@waikakagenetics @BenDooley8 Cool thanks! Hahah yes I can imagine while they’re running it’s a bit of an irratic motion!

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

@BenDooley8 have you tried a GoPro on a dog video yet? We’ve just got one and plan on seeing what mustering from a dog POV is like!

[Grace Pettit @GracePettit]

@BenDooley8 Will give it a go and report back! Might need to find a GoPro dog harness?
