A piece in the National Stockman discusses sheep resilience to cold and moisture. It argues shelter strength matters, notes Merino traits, and praises a ram specimen for quality and fleece characteristics.
The article argues cold rains and freezing weather harm sheep, especially late in year. It advises simple shelters with dry floors, three sides, and overhead protection. Emphasizes dry, clean yards and cheap lumber for small flocks, noting sheep tolerate cold but need dry footing to stay profitable.
A fragmented note discusses whether sheep diet improves meat quality and notes that sheep fed suitably will not cause regret to their keeper. It contrasts feed choices with potential benefits for meat production and animal welfare considerations.
Splints in horses explained with prevention and treatment steps and caution against premature removal. Additional short notes cover cooking feed for hogs, advice against oiling razor strops, a child's bath anecdote, and light economic axioms.
W J Fraser argues winter dairying benefits farms with tillable land by using home grown roughage like corn silage and legume hay. A winter base of these feeds allows a strong ration, reduces summer milking, and aids calf raising as fall calves gain better care in barn until pasture age.
Dutch belted cattle are the most striking dairy breed with a distinctive white belt encircling the body. They originate from Holland and resemble Holsteins in adaptation but are smaller in size. The image shows a pure bred Dutch belted bull with the characteristic belt.
The article weighs pasture versus barn feeding for calves and cows, noting fall calving aligns with higher winter milk prices while winter production yields steadier labor and returns. It also covers fly and lice issues and a lice elimination method using stavesacre decoction.
