Looking back from January to November.

SEPTEMBER
Monday, 22 September 2008
It’s officially Spring, but be careful to not get carried away. Hopefully the wet season has ended and stock can start to enjoy some sunshine. Pastures are your main concern this month – remember it doesn’t grow for free. In fact growing pasture is your major cost on the farm.

AUGUST
Wednesday, 20 August 2008
A fortnight of unending storm weather not withstanding, spring should be just about on you. Hopefully a good number of ewes will have lambed, cows will have calved and there will be plenty of calves in the sale yards for those who want to start rearing.

JULY
Wednesday, 23 July 2008
It doesn’t seem to matter that we’re “up North”, the weather has been positively glacial lately – just to prove that we are well and truly into winter. Your top priority must remain being sure stock are well fed and ready for calving, lambing and kidding which will be happening (by accident or design) by the end of the month if it isn’t already.

JUNE
Friday, 20 June 2008
I don’t know what the weather is like on your rural corner at the moment but I’m guessing there are muddy gumboots at the door and jerseys in drying in front of the fire.

MAY
Monday, 19 May 2008
In case you hadn’t noticed – winter has arrived. It doesn’t matter how you look it or how wistfully you hold your mouth, summer is behind us. Using feed wisely and without waste should be your priority over the coming months – as will be protecting paddocks from pugging.

Well we have to accept it – summer is definitely over and autumn is here. So what should you be doing in May – apart from making sure you have plenty of firewood in stock?

MARCH
Wednesday, 19 March 2008
In theory autumn is upon us - regardless of what we may think given the lingering heat of summer. Like it or not it’s time to roll up the hammock and start thinking about the winter ahead.

JANUARY
Monday, 21 January 2008
With Christmas out of the way it’s time to start thinking about planning for the coming year. No matter how tempting it might be to put it off until the kids go back to school, the sooner you get to it the better prepared you’ll be.

DECEMBER
Wednesday, 19 December 2007
It’s holiday season. If you don’t believe me a quick look in your fridge will remind you – when else do you have left over pavlova and glazed ham vying for space on the second shelf?
