Some pictures from harvest so far, we’re looking forward to cracking back into it after the recent rain.

[North Stirling Downs @nstirlingdowns]

Pretty happy with our crops given below average rainfall. 🌱
We got to see a different view of some wheat chasing down some escapees…

@Jusakstud We have, they’re becoming more prominent now.

Classing our worker merino rams, we rely on a mixture of physical appraisal and data collection to determine which animals we use.

Our late season Emu canola has enjoyed the recent rain!

Special spraying scenery!

Lambs are well and truly on the ground!
At preg scanning we separate ewes into twins, triplets and singles so that we can appropriately monitor each group, and in drier seasons, provide adequate supplementary feed.

[North Stirling Downs @nstirlingdowns]

Throwback to preg scanning in May, when things were a bit drier!

As the crops poke up, occasionally snails do too 🐌. Snail baiting, spreading fertiliser and spraying weeds are some of the jobs done during the growing season.

These beans have been a while in the making, but they’re looking good now!

We’ve posted a lot about our sheep lately, but we’re also harvesting. Sometimes there’s no room in the paddock to load the grain. 🌾

Fantastic effort by these three champion blokes.
Lou, Jim and Imran shore 1603 merino lambs to beat the previous record by 395.
Congratulations to the new world record holders and everyone else involved. It was a pleasure to be part of this team.
