those scan images were clear as mud glad the operator knows what he's looking at coz, I couldn't tell head from hoof I'd probably just nod in agreement & say lots of pretentious remarks like "yes I concur" & "hmmmm yes the flux capacitor looks functional from my house"
As always great video! Watching I noticed in some places your fences have a post many feet apart from the next. Other sections of fence have post much much closer to the next post. I am guessing difference is like 12 feet vs. 3 feet. I am wondering what factors determine where you use the close post configuration vs distant configuration. Thank you.
I guess we have plenty of different fences. Our best fences have a post around every 3.5-4 metres have 9 wires and 4 Battons between the posts. But we also have 3 wire electrics which are 4-6metres apart using batons. These keep stock in in good conditions but you can’t trust them holding up with the same stock type on either side( like lambs and ewes or ewes and ewes). The 3 wire electric costs half of the “conventional” fence. Some of our conventional fences are also not battened which is fine until I drive mobs past them with lambs, the lambs can easily push through them when not battened.
usually large or over weight cattle that go to the slaughter house get despatched the same way and require being quartered for processing. the carcass is to long and makes contact with the ground. witch the above is required. thus slowing the production down witch in turn is the reason for a lesser payment.
Hi Aga, Nice, unsure if there is a way for you to get into this over here. It’s a great lifestyle and I always appreciate being on the land. All the best.
@@HillCountryFarmerYes will, I’m on research to the job who can bring me to NZ. I got the information from NZ immi website about halal slaughterer, can give me a special visa from NZ gov. Hopefully one day I can move to NZ 🙏🏻

Haha, yes that’s basically what I was saying. I could see the dry, but the twin was hard to see 🤦.
Always learning something from your videos. Thanks, from the Mainland
Thanks Jan, hopefully learning good things 😅

Hi Will, nice to meet you! I’m Aga from Indonesia. Really interested to work in the sheep farm someday.
Hi Aga,
Nice, unsure if there is a way for you to get into this over here. It’s a great lifestyle and I always appreciate being on the land.
All the best.

Awesome mate! I hope it goes well for you, we need motivated people in this country!
Cheers, Will.
Great video 👌
Cheers!
I guessed around 1000kg, he was a big boy. His reluctance to get up on the truck was understandable, I always feel sorry for them.
I relate to that too. He has lived the dream and gets a quick end.
Good stuff mate! Subscribed!
I appreciate that mate!
Pity about the bull, he looked a better type than the younger bull. Have to buy another one now.
Yip that’s right, hope to have two new bulls turn up in the next month. He was a solid boy!
Why do you not have any lambing videos? Do you lamb entirely on pasture?
I didn’t start this channel until after lambing, yip our ewes are just fed pasture.
Nice stock 👍🇳🇴
Cheers! 👍
How old was that massive bull?
Rising 5year old - 5 in September / October
Big Ole bull.
Solid
