Beef

At the Beef section last week, Dr Frank from Brunswick Vets pregnancy tested our beef cows and heifers with results as follows;

Heifers                  AI 52%                   Total 94%

1st Calvers           AI 56%                   Total 87%

Commercials      AI 52%                   Total 92%

Terminals                                              Total 89%

Total Cows scanned        271         

Total Cows Pregnant       246

Total Cows Empty               25

Total Percentage                 91

This is an excellent result for our Beef enterprise and well done to all involved.

School Visit

On Wednesday this week, the College had a visit from a Year 3 Class from Treendale Primary School.  Students visited our shearing shed, orchard and dairy.  Thanks goes to Mr Adams, Mr Cruickshank and Mr Swallow for assisting on the day.  Also, thanks to Roy Slater and Reed Bennett for volunteering to be tour guides.

Brunswick Show

Ms Quilty is off to the Brunswick Show this weekend with Jake Pich, Sean Smith and Beau Smith to exhibit three of our Angus Stud Heifers.

Hats On Farm

Just a reminder that students need to wear a broad-brimmed hat on the Farm this term.  This can either be the College bucket hat or Akubra. 

Weekend Stock

This is just a reminder to all students to check the Weekend Stock Roster so they are aware of their weekend stock obligations. If students need to swap a weekend stock date, they must fill out a swap form a week before the date of their rostered weekend.

Updated Weekend Stock Roster (as of 26.10.23)
