Do you do a January Farm Audit? 🤔🚜

Some farmers swear by a total "reset" in the first week of Jan, others prefer to keep the momentum rolling. We think a quick audit is the secret to a stress-free season later on.

We’ve broken it down into four key areas:

Physical Inventory 📦

Machinery Health 🔧

Financial Pulse 💼

The Human Factor 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Which one are you tackling first this week? Drop a comment below and let’s hold each other accountable for a killer 2026! 👇

New Year, different mindset. 🚪✨

Early January on the farm is often just as busy as December, but it’s the best time to "close the gate" on last year’s stresses. Setting the tone for the year isn't just about your production targets; it’s about your mental boundaries.

This year, make a pact with yourself: When the boots come off, the "work brain" switches off. Being a better farmer starts with being a more rested version of yourself.

What’s one boundary you’re setting for your wellbeing in 2026? 👇

Are you shearing after Christmas?

Your Pre-Shearing Checklist:

🚧 Shed & Equipment: Clear all obstacles, ensure adequate lighting, and check that stands, chutes, and grinder equipment are working and properly maintained. 🔋 Health & Safety: Have your first-aid kits fully stocked (both human and animal!), and confirm the shearers and shed staff have clear safety induction briefings. 💧 Water & Amenities: Ensure clean drinking water, working toilets, and wash-up facilities are readily accessible for the team. 💉 Product Prep: Check your stock levels! Have your essential vaccines, marking fluids, and wound care products clearly labelled and ready for use in the race.

Top Tip: Time your essential health treatments (like MULTIMIN or WEBSTERS vaccines) to align perfectly with the yarding and handling process.

That time between Christmas and New Year when you forget what day it is... and your only goal is to just keep meandering. 😴

We know the holiday schedule can throw everything out of whack! Whether you're moving stock, fixing a fence, or just trying to remember if it's Tuesday or Friday, we salute everyone navigating the post-Christmas, pre-New Year haze.

May your days be easy and your stock be calm. What's the biggest task you've managed to tackle during this glorious, schedule-less time?

🎄 To every farmer starting the day with a stock run, not a sleep-in... Thank You.

While the rest of the country is opening presents, you’re ensuring Australia is fed. Your hard work never stops, and we see it.

Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

✨ Tip to Make it Enjoyable: Set one firm 'knock-off' time on Christmas Day—even if it's just two hours for lunch and a cricket game. Delegate the feed run on Boxing Day morning so you can genuinely switch off, even briefly. You've earned it!

Christmas Day on the farm is a game of two halves. 🚜☀️

Morning: Vital tasks only. Feed, water, check. Afternoon: Feet up.

Unless it’s got a heartbeat or a major leak, it can wait until the 27th. Give yourself permission to let the "to-do" list sit for a day. The farm will still be there tomorrow—the family time won't.

The "downhill run" to Christmas is on. 🏃‍♂️💨

The best gift you can give yourself this year is a Christmas Day without "emergency" repairs. Take an hour this week to do a "Pre-Flight Inspection." Fix that dodgy latch, check the trough floats, and make sure the ute is fueled up.

A little bit of prep now means more time for ham and less time chasing breakouts while the family is opening presents 🎁

👨‍🌾 Your Most Valuable Asset is You.

While we know the focus is on stock health, remember to look after the people managing the farm! The Christmas period often means minimal staff and long hours in the heat, increasing the risk of burnout.

Health Care Tip: Mandate a proper break in the shade every two hours. Dehydration and heat exhaustion can hit fast when routines are broken.

Reminder: Check in with family and staff. Stress and isolation can increase over the holidays. A simple phone call or a shared meal makes a huge difference.

Joining is just around the corner! Is your flock ready?
Christmas is around the corner, but for many of us, the real work starts with joining soon. Don’t let poor trace mineral status limit your conception rates.

As you start your pre-joining checks, don't forget your Multimin! A strategic top up 4 weeks before the rams go in helps ensure your ewes are at their peak for ovulation and embryo survival.

Don't forget Rams need their trace mineral boost 12 weeks before joining to support s***m quality.

🐄 Did You Know? Rumen Facts! 🧠
Your cattle are running tiny, powerful factories right inside their stomachs! 🏭🌱

Did you know that cattle's digestive system is so clever, they actually use billions of microbes (bacteria and other tiny helpers) in their first stomach compartment (the rumen) to change the fats they eat? 🤔

When a cow eats fresh grass or plant fats, these tiny rumen microbes essentially "harden" the healthy liquid fats—like those found in fresh grass—turning them into more solid fats before they are absorbed by the cow's body. This massive microbial factory is what allows cattle to thrive on roughage like hay and pasture! 🌾💪
