Sheep and goat farmers can save 75 cents per electronic identification tag in sky blue for 2023 lambs and kids, part of a $3.4 million program. Look for fully accredited tags by participating manufacturers where you buy your supplies. https://t.co/EXmSyCfnVF

One thing farmers can do TODAY to help prevent spread of diseases like FMD: Visit https://t.co/wPJm4R3Kzp & get your stock movements up to date. If you have stock arrive, it's your job. @DPIRDbroadacre Biosecurity Officer @jemmathomas263 made this loud & clear at a recent event.

[ASHEEP & BEEF @ASHEEPBEEF]

Great @SouthCoastalAG EID workshop today. Key message from @DPIRDbroadacre was that EID tagging in sheep will become compulsory in future, so good to be clued in. Good to hear from producers Ryan Willing & @wattle_dale, plus @KgLivestock

[Jemma Thomas @jemmathomas263]

@Claire_Payne24 Highly recommend the bannister downs milk that comes in the the 1L bag for the freezer too ;)

If you own 50+ domestic chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea fowl, quail, pigeons, pheasants, partridges or 10+ emus and/or ostriches – you must register with us from 1 April under new biosecurity regulations. Also applies to poultry abattoirs.https://t.co/gR8VDTI4Rf @GGA_WA

All things African swine fever and swill feeding @woolorama -come chat to Louise! @DPIRDbroadacre

@DavoWMiller As a Perth kid who went to Locko then studied animal science at Murdoch - I STILL didn’t know all the opportunities available to me in the Ag industry when I graduated. Less focus on farming and more focus on the full supply chain of all aspects of Ag.

Farm Succession Planning - don’t forget your brand registration when organising a farm handover. Call or drop in to your local DPIRD office to discuss the best solution for you! It will save a lot of issues down the track 👨🏻‍🌾🧑🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾

@BradMclean90 Integrity Systems decommissioned e-Decs, only eNVDs now..

[Jemma Thomas @jemmathomas263]

It seems some printers are not doing a very good job of printing a legible brand on sheep eNVDs. Worth checking before sending off! 🐏
