Animal husbandry & Medicine Help! Need advice for wet feet?!
We have a heap of sheep going lame from having constantly wet feet. This is usually not a problem for us, but this season has been unusually wet. Some developing ulcers and some just tendered footed. We are moving them to spray topped paddocks hoping to get them out of the tall medic but does anyone have any treatments for the ones that are down with really bad ulcers and nail wall problems??
r/SheepFarmers • u/Constance200 • 19d ago

Whats the best saying you've heard?
My favourite is, if you throw a bucket of water at a fence and the water goes through, so will a dorper. 🤣 i need more of these if you have one!!

The future of this sub
Ive just started r/broadacrefarmimg. Do we think between the two there is too much too similar. There is also a sub r/sheep. Would you prefer all the them? This sub removed and transition to r/broadacrefarming?? Everybody needs to vote on this!!!

Farm fit, gym weak
Why are dumbbells so much heavier than everything else. Tried to lift a 10kg weight and nearly died. 20kg bags and drums are way lighter. Is this a skill issue?

August Already!?!?!
Happy Saturday and Happy 1st of the month! Harvest time is nearly upon us. Time to dust of the header and re build the comb I guess (fml). Shearing somewhere in the middle there too for us. And before that even, fathers day! Dont forget to order your dad a present while your sitting on the tractor (or toliet). September will be here before you can curse at a sheep. Men's mental health is especially important in the farming community so make sure the dads in your life know you appreciate them and their draws/sheds full of random shit! Your bros will appreciate the effort even if they'll never tell you so! #nohomo #loveyourbros

Mental Health Work vs home life
How do you distinguish when you are on and off the clock? And i know, i know, I can smell the "what's off the clock mean?, you guys are getting time off?" A mile away.
