The strangulation risk of a collar on a dog where multiple dogs reside AND PLAY, is real. This happened to my dogs. The one with his jaw caught was not the one who panicked, but the one wearing the collar did. She flipped and twisted trying to get away which only twisted and tightened the collar more around her neck, causing more panic. Her tongue was turning blue and her eyes were bulging from the pressure. It did not take long for a panicking dog to lose her breath and I had to act quickly. Thankfully I was present. My dogs don’t wear collars anymore. This was a great question and I’m so glad you addressed it.✌️

also a tidbit about dogs in Australia, its a legal requirement to have your dogs (and cats) registered and microchipped. so collars aren't really a necessity since the standard practice for finding lost dogs is to either take them to a vet or a shelter, they'll scan the chip and let their owners know where their dogs are to come pick them up.

I’m normally a silent viewer as well. But also don’t miss a video as I’m also a lady in farming. But on a small scale of 350 ewes and 10 miniature cows. I find your videos informative especially with how different the farming is from one side of Australia to the other. I guess a question for you would be have you heard much about the live export ban in WA? If so what are your thoughts on it? And how would you guys go if you had most buyers/processors just shutdown without notice?

Most of the sheep that are live exported are from WA. Our lambs are processed within a few hours of the farm and are then exported.

Hey 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤ Hope you got Onyx Storm 😊 I picked mine up from Kmart today in paperback. Fortunately my stepson and my mother in-law also read all my books after me so they are well loved before I sell them as sets on my facebook community page. I used to have mixed farming in South Gippsland near Wonthaggi and Philip Island. I had Dairy on half plus beef and sheep on other half farm. I also had layers and fancy poultry. We usually ran sheep behind the cattle rather than the other way around, due to the way they graze. The beef would rotate through first because they need longer pasture and the sheep then clean up the clumps that the cows won’t eat and crop the grass shorter close to the ground. Then we spell the pasture until it reaches a required regrowth per square metre, rinse and repeat. If you study a cows mouth it will help to understand, they pull at the grass while sheep nip it off more with smaller mouth and can eat closer to the ground. Also, chooks don’t lay all year round, they moult and renew their feathers and don’t lay during that time. Also production drops massively after the first year and reclining every year.

[@karencross1964]

Yes to cattle first, then sheep.

[@SoniaH-m4g]

Definitely cattle first. Also if your in a warmish area and you know when your chooks go off laying or want to get them started early put a small sprinkle of keens mustard powder in the feed, I got the trick from my grandfather and I don’t know why it works but it does (probably increases body temperature is my guess).

So the short answer for why the dogs don't wear collars is because they don't need one, they don't need to be restrained so a collar would have no purpose and only be a hazard. I would recommend running cows ahead of the sheep as cows need a longer sward to eat and sheep can eat the grass much lower than a cow can. Same benefits and means the paddock can be grazed sooner in the rotation rather than having to wait for it to grow long enough for the cows (when you can finally grow grass again of course)

Hey Tara I have been following your channel now for a couple of years and love the way u are down the line and just says it as it is, so anyone that says a lady shouldn’t speak this way or that tell the buggers to go jump 😂 We are located in the Riverina and from what i can gather we run a similar size operation and stock numbers as u guys and was wondering if u have ever looked into drought or confined feeding pens we have found that it saves us a lot of time as we used to feed every second day and it would take the full day to now being down to 2-3 hours every 3rd morning there are on self feeders which take a full mixed ration of roughage and grain depending on if they are dry ewes or coming up to joining this has also helped keep are pastures fresh for when the rams go in and when they lamb We do have a dairy style mixer wagon to tailer each pens needs but our neighbour does similar thing with a self grain feeder and hay racks and keep it pretty simple, it was quiet a big outlay for us too set up as in fencing troughs, feeders and plumbing but there are a lot of ways to do it at different price points we also run a fat lamb feedlot on the side which was the main reason of the mixer purchase just curious on your thoughts Also wanted to say I love the slug i have bread and trained kelpies since I was 14 I’m now 33 and currently breaking in the 4th generation of my line I’m a big believer in doesn’t matter how u train a dog or what commands or whistles u use do what works for u, no one person or dog is the same, slug is proof of that treat them right and they are the best friend u will ever have Love the vids mate keep them coming 👍🍻

Loved the video Tara, it was so funny watching Typo's reaction at the car door, she's a sweet heart. Thank you. Please give Typo a hug from me.

[@ssrattus]

Thanks Tara.

I love the fact you highlight putting on sunscreen and remind us how deadly the sun can be. It reminds me of my dad putting on tan zinc cream like a foundation before working in the cattle yards. I may have tried using it as a foundation once as a young teen but quickly realised it's not a pretty foundation substitute 😅

Love your humor and happy to comment to help. Going to qualify this as a joke as I am fully aware of the history in oz on this. After the chickens you can toss some rabbits in there and their poop will further fertilize the patick lol. Don’t mind the holes or fines. lol. I love the rotation idea. Goats can also be milked and the milk turned to soap or cheese. 😅

Love you, your family, pets and livestock. Never stop posting!

[@TaraFarms]

Appreciate that!

[@LadyOfCrow]

Glade to know our random comments are welcome. 😅 I get the feeling typo did not approve of the suggestion she wears a collar. She is too cool for that 😎

L.D. Larry always makes me laugh. i just woke up the family laughing! Hello from Oregon, USA

[@donnagraham6748]

I’m here, from Nova Scotia. I so look forward to your videos. What would we do without the Tara attitude pick me up. 😊 keep up the chatter content! Love it! And we all love everything about slug 🐾.❤

Tara, it was nice to learn a bit more of yourself, your farm. Do you get excited about your travels to other countries? Greece sounds wonderful. I've only been in the northern part of Italy, but never in Greece. I am excited for you and Liam. Thanks for sharing

[@anniebooo]

Thank you Tara. Very nice video, do not have to make videos with lots and lots of topics. Make them as you do with one topic at fhe time. Best regards, Annie from WA

[@lenasdragons2839]

Big believer in NO collar for my cats and dogs, too. They are a hazard and dangerous. Had a friend, we found her missing pet hanging up on fence dead when I was a kid 😢

The two calf thing is a good idea for the freezer Tara..my old mate who was a sheep farmer used to get two calves for meat..❤

[@brendasnell509]

Love you and your colleague, Typo, all the way from Raleigh, NC! My Aussie Shepherd (Bodhi) and 2 Borders (Max and his sister Maddi - from a sheep farm) love when new episodes comes out!

🇨🇦 Canada here, about the rubber tail bands - when I worked in an engineering office, we’d keep our rolls of drawings secured with ordinary elastic bands. Even in an office, those bands would get brittle after a couple years, and even in a bag in a drawer they had a limited shelf life. I’m sure the brutal Aussie 🌞 sunlight would work far faster.

[@ssgtmole8610]

I use to put rubber bands around the cards in some of my board games, but I stopped after I ended up with them deteriorating over time and leaving residue on the cards.

You could say that the lambs in the bean stubble will...have a field day 🥁

[@peggyball4850]

I do enjoy you keeping us up on future plans for the farm

[@PaulT-p9g]

Good morning Tara. Just wanted to comment for algorithm today. It's minus 6c here and been snowing all night so kind of distracted. Have a good week.
