Uralba White Suffolk

A bit ironic that my 2021 rainfall record that was in a jar at the base of this strainer got washed away!

Flood irrigation from the Gum Flat and Cockabidnie creeks combined

Rams ready for Auction. Wednesday 18th August. Some Catalogues are available to download from our website. uralbawhitesuffolks.com

Stud ewes are in full swing of lambing. Recording lamb birth weights while recording the lambs tag number to the mothers number. Yes the ewe closest to me had the twins...not hollow, waiting for her lambs

Got in my ute this morning after my 15yo son drove it home from paddock last night. Had to move the seat FORWARD. That's going to be annoying. Long arms are a positive though.

Drafted the Auction team by using the Electronic tag data. Finalised the 90 rams that will be on offer. Sale day catalogue is now on website.

For anyone needing White Suffolk rams, the preliminary catalogue is now on our website uralbawhitesuffolks.com

How much easier would farming be if you could just add water. Water leak found and fixed 3 weeks ago. Medic pasture.

Time to grass free pastures, so the rams can go into the barley for a while (sown for this purpose)

Sale rams doing ok considering the start they had to life. 90 of these will be offered in On property auction 21st August 2019. Catalogues will be available on web site in August uralbawhitesuffolks.com

Found photo on LHS taken 23rd July 2018. RHS taken 10th July 2019. This year's lambs don't know how easy they have it

This is the difference delving and spading makes. Done in 2017 but wasn't bringing up clay. Photo on right was delved only, no clay

2020 sale ram numbers increasing quickly. Lambing in full swing now. Lambs get weighed, tagged and recorded against the ewes number within 12hrs of birth. These lambs weighed 3.5kg, 4.2kg and 4.8kg

The plan for green feed in March has failed. Very little rain since the sorghum was sown in October

Getting an early post weaning weight of the ram lambs. Individually recorded against their electronic tag. No need for pen and paper. Up to 91kg at 5 months of age. Still another 9 months until they are sold though

145 ram lambs happily weaned at 10 to 15 weeks of age. Will wean more next month

We will have a few rams available at the Cleve sheep market tomorrow

Genetics can help get lambs to saleable weights quicker. 30 rams in this year's catalogue are in the top 10% for Pwwt in Australia. 88 of them are in the top 50%
