Hi Everyone,

Just joined and thought I would say hi. I have 140 acres in Mount Perry. I have fenced off one half of the property into grazing cells, which also restricts access to environmentally sensitive areas.  Currently only running a few horses and a few cattle, but once all the infrastructure is complete (inlcuding my house!) I have plans to grow square meaters for beef and also pastured poultry, pork and mutton, plus free range eggs.

Hello there :)

I'm Jason and long story short I am desperatly wanting to begin/establish a profitable farming venture. I currently live in a semi-rural suburb here in Perth and that coupled with previous exposure to farming lifestyle has fanned an inferno from what what was perpertualy smouldering embers.

Thought the best way was to introduce ourselves, we are from the Sunshine Coast and are in the midst of working towards selling our business, and

house this year. Once done we are looking at buying a farm more Hobby than full time in the the surrounding area. We would like to have a few cattle smaller breeds, horses by 2 for the kids and wife, chickens ect and look at sustainable practises, solar, use of water, grow veggies ect.

Hi everyone,

Love the farming forum. Could someone please help us with a way stop poddy calves sucking each other - we don't wont to put a devise in the nose. Is there anything else we can do to dter them from doing it?

Gday all 

great website hoping to get some good ideas from you all

I was brought up farming until the age of approx 14 then i decided to move to town and enjoy some town life for a while.

now living back out of town on 37acres and looking for some ideas on what to do with it, approx 20 acres of it can be farmed and im looking for some profitable ideas to be self sufficient as well as make a bit of profit from it.

Currently in the process of buying a 10acre property in Lockyer Waters, west of Brisbane, close to Gatton. I have an idea of what I want to do but with very little experience, I was hoping for some input... 

I currently do a few things that I'd like to expand on... 

I have a small (20) chicken laying flock of Aracuanas, wellsummers and Sussex, and would like to increase the flock (50-60) what do I need to do to sell eggs legally in QLD? 

Hi,

I don't have any questions but just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about my farm journey so far...I decided to make my first home, a home in the country. It took nearly 18mths to find my perfect home, but at last, I found my little piece of heaven in the Southern Downs region of QLD.

My aim is to be self suffiecent, "live off the grid" as much as possible and to one day earn a small income to live comfortably (ie. pay those bills we can't get out of).

Hi,

My wife and l are only new to this and by no way do i think lm a farmer just some who likes a challange. l look forward to this and will share our experiances and hopfully learn a thing or too.
