The dogs are fascinating, what is the working live of a dog. Be interesting to know how you work them into the team, what is the mix of experienced an inexperienced. Great videos, cheers.

Darling Jasper. Always coming back with a ‘didn’t I do well’. Isn’t is sad to see people’s takeaway rubbish on the road side.

[@kiwifarmernz]

The rubbish thing is quite frustrating.

[@geoffreyfox60]

Way to nicer truck to cart bloody Woolie jumpers, hay. I wanted to ask you about who short assed barkers nest do now them or just let them grow and if you let them grow why?

[@stephendickson9000]

That's early for the ram, well for down south it is. And I have a jack that's an arsehole as well😂

[@kiwifarmernz]

Haha hes just keen with selective hearing. Its quite early for under the hills as well but we are pushing the limits.

[@cra9252]

Hi is it worth buying a sheep farm these days . Great vids !

[@kiwifarmernz]

depends on your reasons. its hard going at the moment.

[@bryanking6239]

What type of worms do your sheep you get, All Blacks from a Sprngbuck farmer

[@kiwifarmernz]

The most common roundworms for us are Ostertagia Circumcinta, Trichostrongylus Axei, Trichostrongylus Vitrinus, T Colubriformis, Nematodirus Filicollis and N Spathiger.

[@expeditionlandcruiser9852]

Hi Alistair, what’s your cattle stocking units per HA in Oxford? Cheers.

[@kiwifarmernz]

Hey do you mean for our beef cattle on the hills?

[@piper1415]

How bad is stock theft in New Zeeland in general and the percentage loss specifically in your area.

[@kiwifarmernz]

Down here its not too bad. There is some on the odd occasions. some places in the North Island its really bad.

[@icryostorm3727]

what length needles are you using for the vax - vet gives me 19G for subQ which is an arse.

[@kiwifarmernz]

We use 18 Guage for sheep and 16 for cattle. 19 is quite small.
