Sheepvention a sensation
By Connor Burns
THE Sheepvention Rural Expo wrapped up on Monday after a two-day long event filled with agricultural attractions and entertainment for everyone that stepped foot onto the Hamilton Showgrounds.
The event brought approximately 25,000 patrons through the gates with people travelling from across the country to experience the event.
Sheepvention President Darren Schurmann was happy with the interest around the event, with many people enjoying what Sheepvention had to offer.
“The crowds were very good; we were very lucky with the weather and there was a lot of positive feedback from the traders and members of the community,” Mr Schurmann said.
“It was really good and it’s surprising how much positivity there was about the place, which is great.
“It’s good to see people out and about, getting a bit of sun and kids around everywhere, it was really good for the district.”
One of the main attractions of the event was the Sheepvention After Dark Drought Relief Concert, which featured performances from Australian music legend Shannon Noll, along with Bec Milly Band and Michael Honan.
It was created to assist in raising much needed funds and awareness for farmers struggling with their own mental health, and the effect that the millennial drought has had.
Over 800 people were in attendance for the concert and community conversation panel which was supported by Let’s Talk Foundation, with a whopping $10,000 being raised to support farmers and mental health services across the region.
“I had a chat to Abby from Let’s Talk and they’ve already had some frank discussions with some people (about mental health), it’s been re-
ally good,” Mr Schurmann said.
“What we want to do is get mental health out there so people aren’t embarrassed to talk about it, it’s okay to say you need to talk to someone, that is what it is all about and I think we did it very well.”
Sheepvention also included events such as the Virbac Sheep Show, CopRice Farm Dog Championships, the ProWay Wool and Shearing Competitions and the Sinclair Wilson Inventions Competition that brought many farmers to
the event.
While there was also a petting zoo, tractor rides and many different craft activities that kept the children amused across the two days.
Overall the event was a booming success with Mr Schurmann thanking the community for getting behind the event once again and helping make it great.
“I just want to thank the community for their support, it seems to be stretching broader and
broader,” he said.
“Now we have people from Mildura, Warrnambool and all over the place, there was a huge amount of people here and I think people are realising how good it is.
“I talked to a lady from Warrnambool, she brought the kids and her husband up yesterday and they said if they knew it was this good, they would have been up on Sunday as well, people are realising how much there is to offer.”
Sustainability framework revealed
THE Sheep Sustainability Framework (SSF) has unveiled its 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, outlining a roadmap to strengthen the Australian sheep industry’s leadership in sustainability, transparency, and industry accountability.
Since its launch in 2021, the SSF has become a critical tool for measuring and reporting the sustainability performance of Australia’s worldclass sheepmeat and wool sectors.
Designed by industry for industry, the SSF provides a nationally coordinated, evidencebased framework that monitors, measures and reports industry performance against sustainability priorities.
The new five-year plan focuses on three key strategic priorities: stakeholder engagement, robust data collection and reporting, and responsiveness to industry needs.
Independent Chair of the SSF Angus GidleyBaird said the new strategy will take the indus-
try from awareness to action.
“The next strategic plan period has a goal of increasing awareness of the framework among producers and stakeholders to accelerate prof-
itable and productive changes in sustainability,” he said.
“The plan over the next five years to 2030 is about turning sustainability insight into impact across the entire sheep value chain.
“Together, these efforts will ensure the SSF continues to be a go-to source for trustworthy information about how the Australian sheep industry is improving its environmental and social impact.”
Key features of the new SSF Strategic Plan include the continued development of the SSF’s digital data dashboard that makes industry data more accessible and understandable.
The plan also includes annual check-ins with producers, processors, industry, and customers to ensure the framework stays up to date with the latest sustainability issues and expectations.
Sheep Producers Australia (SPA) and Wool-
Producers Australia (WPA), as peak industry bodies for the sheepmeat and wool industries, form the SSF Board and have the mandate to take the SSF outputs and use them as supporting evidence to set relevant industry policy.
Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) fund the SSF and provide strategic and secretariat support. These research and development corporations use the SFF’s outputs to inform planning and research investments.
The Sustainability Steering Group (SSG) is responsible for leading the SSF by setting the strategy and implementation plans and representing and promoting the SSF in relevant settings. The SSG features strong representation across sheep-producing regions and the wool and sheepmeat value chain.

Leading lamb choices
THIS year, Dayswhiteface are offering a selection of White Suffolk, White Baldies, and Maternal Composite rams.
The White Suffolks again show the growth and carcase their clients associate with their sheep along with excellent ASBV’s.
As always, They use a range of home bred sires, purchased sires, and use outside AI sires to introduce new high performing genetics.
The homebred sires include a large number of ram lambs.
These are the most up to date and highest performing genetics.
Leading this group is 230233 who was their top priced ram last year, selling for $10,000 to Paxton. He is in the top 5% of the analysis for post weaning wt and top 10% for IMF.
His sire, the $20,000 purchase Warburn 210303 once again has a group of sons that will appeal.
They followed him with Warburn 220119 who will be the most represented sire this year.
He has outstanding carcase traits, plenty of fat and muscle and top 5% IMF and shear force.
They used Farrer 220103 by AI. His data is excellent being top 5% on all indexes, post weaning wt, fat and low worm egg count. He is also in the top 10% for muscle.
They used quite a few of his sons as ram lambs and look forward to offering their progeny in 2026.
Their second offering of white baldies, their shedding composite have the growth and carcase that made them so popular last year.
The slightly increased offering maintains the performance with an increased level of shedding.
They are definitely worth an inspection if you are interested in shedding sheep.
Sheep genetics are in the process of combining the Terminal and Maternal databases. We are really excited about the results of this and where their White Baldies will be positioned.
In developing their White Baldies, Days Whiteface have used their Maternal Composites, shedding genetics from the terminal database and some of their white suffolks which are also in the terminal database. Interesting times ahead.
Dayswhiteface’s select offering of maternal composite, exhibiting great type and structure are backed up with a comprehensive set of ASBV’s.
Please phone call on 0428521630 if you would like to talk about their program.
Financial support for drought underway
By Connor Burns
AFTER several meetings from the Advisory Committee tasked with representing Victorian farmers in the ongoing drought, some more financial help could soon be on the way.
Almost a month after the drought taskforce was announced and formed, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and her state government have finally pledged to provide additional support for farmers, with the potential of a further drought support package being announced next week.
President of the Hamilton District Stock Agents Association Heath Templeton, who is also part of the drought taskforce advisory committee, is hopeful that after a long process financial support could be on the way.
“The process is very slow, anything with the government is not an easy outcome, the state is not forthcoming with cash for farmers in my opinion,” Templeton said.
President of the Hamilton District Stock Agents
Association Heath Templeton is also part of the drought taskforce advisory committee and is hopeful that after a long process, financial support could be on the way for local farmers.
“She (Allan) told us in the last meeting that they will announce another financial support package next week.
“What we’ve been asking for is 100 per cent of rate relief for primary producers in the most affected areas (Southwest Victoria).”
Templeton also has hopes for the Federal government to reduce the Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) loan rate from 5.18 percent to zero per cent, allowing loans of up the two million dollars for two years to help farmers as they live with the continuous toll of the drought.
On top of that the committee have also asked for the federal government to match the State governments $10,000 grants to allow farmers to get their hands on an additional $20,000.
“Hopefully we can get some funding from both State and Federal (governments) in this millennial drought, if we can get rate relief it’s probably a reasonable outcome,” Templeton said.
Queensland received $670 million over the five-year period in drought support, while
farmers in News South Wales shared in excess of $1 billion during previous drought struggles as well.
But Victorian farmers have only received a total of $69 million so far, with many farmers needing the state to provide more money soon.
“The Victorian Agricultural sector last year exported $20 billion worth of product and they’ve given us $69 million in support packages so far, so effectively for the size of the industry, the amount of money we are getting is atrocious,” Templeton said.
“We’re getting nothing, we are currently getting effectively bugger all.
“The big one is if we can get 100 per cent rate relief for all of our primary producers, especially in our local areas like Moyne, Glenelg, Southern Grampians, West Wimmera, it leaves the money in their pockets rather than taking it out.”
Dayswhiteface are offering a selection of White Suffolk, White Baldies, and Maternal Composite rams.
World first FMD vaccine
A WORLD-FIRST biodegradable vaccine to protect livestock from foot and mouth disease (FMD) has been developed through a $20 million, fiveyear research partnership between Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), Tiba Biotech, and the New South Wales government.
While Australia remains FMD free, modelling from Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) has estimated an FMD incursion could cost the Australian economy up to $80 billion.
An incursion would have a catastrophic impact on trade, animal welfare and farm productivity.
MLA managing director Michael Crowley said while it was hoped an FMD vaccine would never be needed, the research represented a proactive approach to managing biosecurity risk.
“FMD is present in countries near to Australia and is front of mind for industry in terms of potential biosecurity risks,” Mr Crowley said.
“Vaccination may not necessarily be required in the event of a disease incursion, but this research demonstrates that the Australian industry is proactive and prepared.
Researchers found the new vaccine demonstrated strong, effective immune response and safety in preliminary trials in Germany.
Vaccinated cattle did not contract FMD when exposed to the disease and, importantly, they did not shed the virus.
The new biodegradable vaccine uses mRNA to induce an immune response, rather than an actual virus.
mRNA vaccines have been proven safe for animals and for consumers.
Following these trials, the vaccine must now undergo a rigorous evaluation process with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) before approval for use on livestock.
Australian-based Tiba fo-founder Peter McGrath said the company was focused on working regulators to ensure vaccine safety and effectiveness.
“Australia is now at the forefront of livestock vaccine development, bringing with it the potential to develop manufacturing capacity, jobs, and exports,” Mr McGrath said.
“Livestock mRNA vaccines offer a safe, efficient and effective approach to protecting animal health, benefiting both the agricultural industry and consumers.
“Unlike current mRNA technologies, our vaccines can be stored long term at standard refrigeration temperatures and even at room temperature for at least one month. This is a critical advantage in livestock applications.”
The research included an extensive evaluation of the safety of Tiba’s vaccines. These evaluations found Tiba’s vaccines safe at very high doses much larger than would ever be administered.
The project was also conducting similar re-
search to develop a vaccine for lumpy skin disease, which is also a significant exotic disease threat to Australia.
mRNA vaccines allow the animal to create proteins and antibodies to trigger an immune response. They do this without entering the nucleus of cells and disappear from the animal within days, leaving antibodies behind for protection against the virus.
From paddock to podium
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) has announced the return of its acclaimed Ambassadors for the Red Meat Industry program, with applications now open to individuals from across the red meat supply chain.
Whether you’re a producer, processor, butcher, or work in logistics, the program is calling for passionate advocates to step forward and help tell the powerful story of Australia’s red meat industry.
Since launching in 2021, the program has equipped over 500 individuals with the skills to speak confidently about animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the production of high-quality, nutritious red meat.
MLA managing director Michael Crowley said participants attend professional development workshops focused on storytelling, social media, and public engagement - key tools for strengthening the industry’s connection with the wider community.
“If you’re passionate about the red meat industry and want to help shape its future by sharing your story, we encourage you to apply,” Mr Crowley said.
Workshops will be held in Adelaide as well as other capital cities over the next 12 months, offering participants hands-on experience and expert guidance.
The program is already delivering results.
Participants from last year’s intake reported a jump in self-rated confidence levels from 6.2 to 8.7 after completing the workshop.
Moreover, 100 per cent of surveyed participants said they were actively applying their new
The project has also included input from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, the German Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut and Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
skills - whether in casual conversations, on social media, or through public speaking.
“At the heart of MLA’s community engagement strategy is a commitment to open, authentic dialogue with the Australian public and our Red Meat Ambassadors are a cornerstone of that effort,” Mr Crowley said.
“By equipping passionate industry representatives with the tools to share their personal stories and insights, MLA is fostering a grassroots movement of informed, confident voices who can connect with communities across the country.
“These ambassadors play a vital role in bridging the gap between producers and the public, helping to build trust, address misconceptions, and highlight the very best of the industry.
“This approach ensures that community engagement is not just a top-down process, but a dynamic, ongoing conversation led by those who live and breathe the industry every day.”

Annual sale for Castle Camps
THE 12th Annual on property ram sale for the Castle Camps Border Leicester and White Suffolk studs will be held on Friday, September 26 starting at 11am.
There will again be 80 White Suffolk and 70 Border Leicester rams available.
After what has been some of the driest conditions they have had over the last eighteen months to two years for many, they have decided to keep the number of rams the same.
They feel it important to do this so buyers have a good selection to choose their rams from. It is with the ongoing support from their clients over the years that has allowed them to purchase quality genetics in both breeds.
This is been reflected in both the type and style of the rams on offer but also in the continued improvement in the Lambplan data.
They feel that this years offering will continue this.
The sale will again be on Auctions Plus.
This will give the opportunity to those who can’t attend on the day to participate in the sale as well. You are also more than welcome to arrange a presale inspection.
This year’s offering of White Suffolk’s will again include rams by Days 20/ 180 (purchased for $15,000) who was the sire of their top price ram last year.
He is ranked in the top 10% on the TCP indexes, being in the top 20% for Pwt, and dressing percentage.
He has breed very well for them and they are again looking forward to offering his progeny at this years sale.
Added to this will be rams from Days 18/82 a proven sire with some 320 progeny including many top sale rams.
New sires this year include Days 22/103 an excellent carcase ram with a low birth weight and in the top 20% for Pemd.
Castle Camps 21/713 a late drop out of a ewe lamb he is long ram with good depth.
Just out of interest this year all ewes mated to him have lambed. Castle Camps 22/32 and 22/166 both selected for their excellent carcase qualities and will have some very good rams in the sale.
The Border Leicester offering will again see rams by Gleneith 20/151(purchaced for $13000).
He is a high growth low birth weight ram that is positive for both muscle and fat.
He sits in the top 5% across all four Maternal selection indexes.
Other proven sires that have breed very well for them in recent years including Castle Camps Barney 17/357 a positive muscle ram that has
sired over 350 progeny and is in top 5% for Wec. Paxton 19/398 and his son Camps Paxman 21/501both in the top 1% for Pwt.
Added to these are two excellent home breed sires by AI rams in Castle Camps Blend and Castle Camps Top, both positive for muscle and in the top 20% for Pwt, and have breed very well in their first year.
Gain many of the Border Leicester rams offered will have negative WEC’s (worm egg counts) a trait that is considered very important at Castle Camps with most of the sires represented in the catalogue having a negative Wec.
This includes Castle Camps Barney 17/357 who with six years worth of data is still ranked in the top 5% for the Border Leicester breed in Wec at -61.06
Over the years wool quality has also been important to Castle Camps.
While they don’t offer individual micron tests on their rams they feel that the importance they have placed on wool is reflected in their own First Cross ewes.
Over the last few years their First Cross ewes have been between 25 to 27 micron with yields in the low 70%.
At Castle Camps, they continue to run their stud operation with a commercial focus in mind with importance placed on sheep with good natural doing ability.
Their stud ewes are run under commercial conditions and the young rams are run through the summer and autumn with only minimal supplementary feeding, although this year they have received more than normal.
This gives confidence that their rams go on and perform well for their clients. This is reflected in the continued great feedback they get for both breeds.
Clients continue getting excellent results with both lambs and their first cross ewes whether selling over the hooks, on line or through the sale yards.
The 12th Annual Castle Camps sale will be held on the property at 2018 Riddoch Hwy, Keith and Auctions Plus on Friday the 26th of September starting at 11am, with inspections from 9.30am.
They invite you to come and inspect the rams either on sale day or before the sale.
You can also follow Castle Camps on Facebook or go to www.castlecamps.com.au for the online catalogue which will be available from early September or just give Ian a call on 0438 566 030.
If you have any questions or to arrange a suitable time for an inspection before the sale.
The 12th Annual on property ram sale for the Castle Camps Border Leicester and White Suffolk studs will be held this month.
LAMB FOCUS
Woolumbool’s spring sale
AFTER a challenging start to the season, conditions have finally turned across the Limestone Coast, just in time for Woolumbool Studs’ 38th annual Spring Ram Sale.
With green feed now pushing through and the rams responding well, stud principal Aaron Clothier says the team is looking forward to presenting a strong and balanced draft on Wednesday, October 1.
The sale will commence at the NEW time of 1pm (SA time) at the Yacca Downs Woolshed, with 200 rams on offer, including White Suffolk, Poll Dorset, and Multi-Meat sires.
“The first half of the year conditions have been tough for everyone,” Mr Clothier said.
“But we’ve now had enough rain to see a shift and the sheep are growing well. What sets our rams apart is that they’ve done it largely without heavy feed inputs.
“They’ve been paddock-reared from the start, with minimal supplementation, and they’re also younger than many sale rams you’ll see this season.”
Woolumbool’s philosophy has long been about balancing real-world resilience with performance genetics where it counts.
All White Suffolk rams in the 2025 draft rank in the top 15% for the Lamb Eating Quality (LEQ) index, while all Poll Dorset rams sit within the top 20%, a reflection of the stud’s ongoing commitment to breeding for carcase quality, growth and productivity traits.
“LEQ is a major driver for us. It’s not just about yield, it’s about what the processor and the consumer both cares about, better eating quality, intramuscular fat, shearforce and reduced worm burden,” Mr Clothier said.
Among the White Suffolk sires represented in this year’s draft are PLG Willows 211690, Ash-
more 221308, and Felix 220134, as well as homebred sires Woolumbool 221507 and Woolumbool 210491.
These rams bring forward balanced data, with traits including post-weaning growth, dressing percentage, and lambing ease.
Farrer 210275 and Farrer 220173 also feature prominently, known for their strong performance in post-weaning weight and meat quality.
The Poll Dorset offering showcases genetics from Kentish Downs 230023, Melton Vale 220360, and Pollambi 210343, alongside impressive progeny from Felix 220168 and Felix 220394.
These lines bring a combination of early growth, muscularity, and desirable terminal traits for prime lamb production.
Woolumbool’s Multi-Meat program continues to evolve, though numbers are tighter this year due to seasonal conditions.
Built on a foundation of high-performance breeds and the Booroola fertility gene, the MultiMeat line aims to deliver more lambs from less feed—without compromising wool quality.
“Our Multi-Meat crossbred lambs tested at 19 micron this year, while our Merinos came in at 16,” Mr Clothier said.
“These were run in the same paddocks, under the same conditions, and the micron result speaks for itself. Wool’s still a valuable part of the equation, especially for maternal operations and if we can keep it fine, we’re adding value to every fleece.”
With decades of data, consistency in breeding objectives and sires that meet market demands across eating quality, growth, worm resistance and maternal efficiency, Woolumbool Studs continues to offer rams that perform both in the paddock and on the hook.
“We’re not chasing extremes,” Mr Clothier said.
“We’re chasing balance and commercial relevance, rams that work for real producers and fit into their prime lamb production.”
The Clothier family looks forward to welcoming clients and visitors to the sale on October 1st.

Funding for sheep projects
MORE than $3.5 million from the Sheep Industry Fund and $528,000 from the Cattle Industry Fund has been committed to new projects and activities that aim to strengthen South Australia’s livestock sector in 2025–26.1
The funds play a vital role in supporting the state’s sheep and cattle industries through investment in practical and strategic areas, including animal health, biosecurity, traceability, industry development and advocacy. These investments help safeguard market access, support trade and promote continuous improvement in livestock practices.
This year’s funding round had a total of 62 applications submitted across both funds.
The 47 applications to the Sheep Industry Fund and 15 to the Cattle Industry Fund sought more than twice the available funding.
While this strong response reflects the livestock sector’s drive for innovation and ongoing development, it also underscores the growing pressure on the Funds to keep pace with industry needs.
Many strong proposals could not be supported due to funding constraints.
This highlighted the importance of maintaining strategic investment and ensuring funding capacity remains aligned with industry priorities. While South Australia’s unique industry funding model continues to deliver strong value for levy payers, its long-term effectiveness relies on its ability to adapt to external pressures and the sector’s changing needs and expectations.
A further $200,000 and $380,896 from the Sheep Industry Fund has also been allocated for rebuilding the SA Dog Fence and its ongoing maintenance.

Make more sheep and cash
IN my lifetime of sheep farming, I have seen the good times and the challenging times, the past 18 months being the latter.
Challenging times are learning times and in autumn of 2025 season we had a practice from autumn 2024 in regards to the late break of season.
Having enough fodder of good quality makes sheep farming a lot more comfortable if you want to maintain the enterprise through the good and bad.
The forecasts of higher sheep prices have come to fruition recently.
It seems like the values might remain higher than normal in the near future.
I encourage those that have stuck with sheep to keep breeding.
There are options for types of sheep that can make the process of sheep farming a whole lot less labour intensive and easy care especially if you choose a breed that does not require its wool to be removed.
The Australian White and our composite shedding breeds are really easy to work with in fact we really only have sheep in the yards about 4 times a year.
I noticed today (August 6) that the sheep had started dropping off their winter coats.
The other highlight of the breed is that when the lambs are born they come with a thick hair covering so there are no lamb losses due to cold and wet lambings.
After 25+ years of breeding shedding sheep we are stoked with the full shedding (non shorn) attribute of our flock and the feet structure is as good as you will get with untrimmed hooves.
For many years we have measured growth, fat, EMD on the rams we produce and this year we have submitted that data to Sheep Genetics and will supply ASBVs for rams that we are selling.
The data will be mostly valuable for a comparison of rams within our flock in the early stages until we get more outside links.
ASBV’s will be available on our shedding and Charollais rams.
The Charollais and composite sheep that we breed continue to astound me.
The easy lambing and associated benefits are real profit drivers.
The breed tend to be shorter in the leg than other breeds but are fine boned with a very high meat yield.
With shearing and xb wool prices being an ugly topic our clients are reporting that Charollais progeny are growing a much shorter wool
than traditional breeds and lambs are finishing before requiring shearing.
Approximately 60 Shedding and 60 Charollais rams will be on offer on Wednesday October 8, auction starting at 1 pm being conducted by Elders with Auctions + .

Sheep eID rebates available
By Elisabeth Champion
ASSISTANCE is available for sheep producers as Sheep eID scanning comes online in saleyards across South Australia.
Mandatory individual tagging and National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) reporting requirements have been brought in with the aim of having full traceability across the supply chain by January 1 2027. Processors were required to have sheep and goat eID equipment up and running by January of this year and saleyards were due to have everything in place by July 1.
The new system requires sheep and farmed goats born on or after 1 January 2025 to be identified with an NLIS accredited eID device before leaving their property of birth.
However, in an effort to support drought impacted producers, the government is extending the current sheep and goat eID essential equipment rebate for producers for a further 12 months.
Originally set to end in July, the Essential Equipment Rebate for sheep and farmed goat producers will now remain open until 30 June 2026, assisting them with the costs of the scanning equipment needed to meet their National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS) reporting obligations.
Livestock SA welcomed the two-year extension, with Livestock SA chief executive officer Travis Tobin said the announcement was impor-
tant to assure livestock producers and the broader industry that there would be no interruption to tag assistance.
“Producers across South Australia are doing it tough, with lowest-on-record rainfall for successive years so any measures that help reduce the cost of doing business help,” he said.
“That said, the transition to sheep and goat eID is one of the most significant changes in small stock for some time and more support was still needed.”
“Livestock SA continues to call for a broader $11.8 million Stage 2 eID implementation package that includes tag rebates for the next three years, funding to support double-tagging of older sheep and regional training to assist with
adoption and compliance.”
“With compliance activities scheduled to start on 1 July, we also need to better understand the government’s approach to missing or non-reading tags, and implications for parts of the supply chain that may not be ready – we haven’t seen any details around this yet.”
“We will continue working constructively with the government to see the full Stage 2 package delivered, which will help ensure a smooth transition to eID across the supply chain,” Mr Tobin said.
In addition, the point-of-sale tag discount scheme has also been extended for two years.
The point-of-sale eID tag discount scheme, which was due to end on 30 June 2025, has been extended for two years in recognition of
the hardship many producers are facing due to the drought.
From 1 July 2025, sheep and goat producers will be able to purchase National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) approved eID tags receiving a 47.5 cents discount at the point of sale for the respective year of birth colour – white (2025), orange (2026) or light green (2027).
In addition to the point-of-sale tag discount, eligible SA producers will be able to apply for eID device rebates for NLIS-accredited tags that fall outside of the year of birth colour scheme.
The Expanded eID Device Rebate (2025-2027) will provide a 25 per ecnt rebate up to 47.5 cents per tag until 30 June 2027.
The sheep and goat eID essential equipment rebate for schools, ag shows and special events has also been extended for another 12 months. The extension of these rebates follows on from the recently announced extension of the pointof-sale tag discount scheme and the expanded eID Device Rebate, providing further assistance to producers with their transition to electronic identification for sheep and farmed goats.
To further support drought impacted producers, in addition to the rebate for producers, the sheep and goat eID essential equipment rebate for schools, agricultural shows and special events has also been extended for another 12 months.

High performance rams equal higher quality
LAMB price records have been tumbling all winter, but it was Detpa Grove progeny which reached new highs earlier this year.
A pen of Detpa Grove sired White Suffolk lambs out of Merino ewes dressing an estimated 43kg sold to Thomas Foods International at the end of May for what was then a record $410/head.
Detpa Grove principal David Pipkorn said the lambs were just sired by some of the solid performance rams placed that year yet were positioned in the top 20% of the industry.
“It is pleasing to see clients that bit the bullet and did feed sheep are now being rewarded with strong lamb prices…and those prices look like they’re here to stay,” he said.
The Jeparit, Victoria stud, has been experiencing the dire seasonal conditions like many other sheep producing areas in the south of the country.
However, things are now starting to turn around and David has been impressed with his flock’s ability to perform so well on so little.
“It is a great indication that high performance genetics stack up when conditions are tight,” he said.
“The muscling, growth and moderate fat levels of the rams have kept them in good stead.”
Mr Pipkorn said that while growth and muscle were king in the prime lamb game, he was consistently monitoring fat levels and ensuring eating qualities are of a high standard for industry.
“Some people may be moving to shedding animals, but they tend to be throwing the growth rate out with the wool,” he said.
“By maintaining high growth, we will end up playing a role like we do in the Merino industry, with White Suffolk rams going over shedding ewes to breed prime lambs that maximise profitability.”

One ram that will no doubt maximise profitability for his buyer is Detpa Grove 240715, an industry leading ram that will be offered in the stud’s on-property spring sale this year.
A twin out of a ewe lamb, DG.240715 has standout Australian Sheep Breeding Values including every selection index being in the top five percent of the LambPlan analysis which now combines all breeds into the one comparison.
This ram has a Terminal Carcase Production index of 180 - putting him in the top 10 rams in the country - combining a post weaning weight of 20 and post weaning eye muscle depth of 5.4
Mr Pipkorn said, “the ram is just built to make money for any buyer”
Detpa Grove has retained the three-quarter brother at stud who was used as a ram lamb and already has impressive progeny on the ground.
That ram, Detpa Grove LEGEND 240725ET now 12 months old has progeny that were “consistently outstanding,” he said.
“This consistency is not surprising given his impeccable maternal line of 10 successive generations of donors or ET progeny.”
Last spring Detpa Grove sold 130 White Suffolk flock rams to a top of $2800 twice and averaged $1324 - outstanding value at very affordable rates.
A further 20 rams sold for stud duties at an average of $4825, with rams selling to five states.
This year, Detpa Grove will offer 250 White Suffolks at their 37th annual on-property sale, including stud ewes, stud rams and flock rams.
Mr Pipkorn said this year’s sale represented some of the leading high-performance genetics in the industry, and despite the “tight” season, the rams will present in their usual excellent condition.
“We’ve maintained ram numbers to give new people an opportunity to get in on these genetics given demand could be lack lustre this year,” he said.
“There is no excuse for using poor quality rams this year, high performance sires can be affordable to everyone.”
Inspections will start on-property at Detpa Grove - 961 Lorquon Road, Jeparit, Victoriafrom 10am on Thursday October 9, with ewes being offered from 11.30am and rams at 1pm.
The Pipkorn family welcome valued clients, friends and supporters to their Annual On-Property Sale.

Delivering water solutions
IN the heart of South Australia’s pastoral zones, farmers are turning to innovative solutions to combat the challenges of saline and hard bore water.
One standout is Hydrosmart, an Adelaidebased company using advanced frequencybased water conditioning to improve water quality without chemicals or filters.
Salinity and hardness in water supplies have long plagued livestock operations, particularly impacting sheep and lamb health.
High salinity can reduce water intake, cause metabolic stress and impair growth in young lambs.
Traditional treatments often involve costly infrastructure or chemical dosing - solutions that are financially and environmentally taxing for regional graziers.
Hydrosmart’s technology offers a low-maintenance, power-efficient alternative.
It works by applying tuned frequency resonance to water pipes, altering the behaviour of dissolved salts and minerals.
This modification reduces the scale-forming tendencies and helps animals better tolerate
hard water high in salts.
They are about to commence a multiyear scientific farm trial with PIRSA at Turretfield Research Centre in SA where there will be data obtained as to the differences with treated versus untreated water sources and the research will be run on numerous sites and water supplies.
Farmers report improved water palatability, increased hydration, and better overall animal condition.
Lamb mortality linked to poor water quality has declined on some properties, while wool quality and weight gains have shown noticeable improvements.
In an industry where margins are tight and environmental resilience is key, Hydrosmart provides a science-backed edge, helping South Australian sheep farmers sustainably manage their most vital resource - water.

Have less stress with Nudies
AFTER two challenging years—marked by short Springs, late breaks, prolonged supplementary feeding and tough market conditions—many farmers are feeling the strain.
Matt Kelly from Low Footprint Lamb says it’s a reminder to stay focused on what you can control – by simplifying where possible to reduce stress, even when conditions are working against you.
Matt runs a ‘Nudie’ flock east of Hamilton in Western Victoria – breeding shedding sheep that perform well in high rainfall conditions.
Nudies don’t require shearing or crutching. There’s no footbathing, jetting, minimal drenching, and they require 15% less feed to maintain condition, significantly reducing labour, costs and stress. The Low Footprint Lamb flock is fully pedigreed, Lambplan recorded and benchmarked against all maternal breeds.
Mr Kelly says data and genomics are significantly enhancing accuracy and allowing for more precise trait selection in his flock – leading to rapid genetic gains.
“In the past three years, we’ve DNA-tested every stud lamb at marking and all sires since 2018,” he said.
“In 2020–21, all ewe lambs were also DNA tested for a fertility research project.
“We’ve lifted production by $6 per mating, per year on the Maternal Composite Plus Index.
“Our 2024 generation sits at 143—just 10 index points behind the current maternal analysis average.
“Five years ago, we were 30 points behind the maternal composites, so we’re rapidly closing the gap.
“Some of our top animals are now in the 170s “I’ve focused heavily on growth and structure in recent matings, and I’m really excited about the results,” Mr Kelly said.

Funding for Fat Farmers
FARMERS and regional communities impacted by drought will benefit from $1 million in targeted mental health and wellbeing support, as part of the South Australian government’s continued response to drought conditions across South Australia.
The new programs have been developed in consultation with industry and will be delivered by organisations already embedded in regional communities and actively supporting farmer wellbeing. Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Clare Scriven said the funding enabled the development of initiatives following feedback from farmers and industry.
“We’ve heard clearly from the sector that mental health support must be delivered by trusted people who are already part of our regional communities,” she said.
“That’s exactly what this investment supports — practical, community-based initiatives that bring people together, reduce stigma, and help build resilience.
Three programs have been funded so far under the new initiative and are now ready to begin community engagement.
Fat Farmers, a grassroots not-for-profit organisation, will establish eight new physical activity groups across drought-affected regional areas, building on its existing network of 23 community groups. The program focuses on promoting mental wellbeing through social connection and exercise, tailored to local needs.
Fat Farmers Team Coordinator Amelia Rasheed said the weekly Fat Farmers exercise sessions had a huge positive impact on the farmers that have been attending.
“It gives the farmers an hour every Tuesday morning, to get off the farm and take some time for themselves,” she said.
“It’s an important wellbeing initiative, allowing farmers to get together, have a laugh and get some
Fat Farmers will establish eight new physical activity groups across drought-affected regional areas.
exercise in too.”
Breakthrough Mental Health Foundation will host a series of community wellbeing events and mental health first aid training sessions in regional towns. These will include seven men’s and seven women’s-focused workshops, as well as seven first aid training sessions to equip locals with skills to support their communities.
Grain Producers SA will host five Great Grain Quiz Nights across drought-impacted areas, GPSA will bring community members together in a relaxed setting to foster social connection, conversation, and wellbeing.
The assistance is part of the state government’s
$73 million Drought Support Package.
Minister for Health Chris Picton said the health of farmers across South Australia has been seriously impacted by the drought, particularly their mental health.
“This is why we’re doing everything we can to ensure drought-affected communities are not facing their burdens alone,” he said.
The additional mental health support funding will provide a welcome boost to the roll-out of mental health support programs, initiatives and services that are informed not only by experts in the field, but by lived experience.
Those needing immediate mental health support or advice can call the Medicare Mental Health Line between 8.30am and 5pm on weekdays on 1800 595 212.
Support is also available 24 hours a day, every day of the year through Lifeline (131 114) or, for urgent matters, by calling the Emergency Triage Liaison Service on 131 465.

UTF Australia knows farms
UTF Australia’s innovative approach to continually developing the strength and efficiency of their products with greater applications has seen the Clarke family evolve their business to a national brand in the feeder and trailer market.
Being former farmers, UTF Australia principals Ben and Bruce Clarke know what farmers demand in their trailer and feeder products.
And they are one of the only manufacturers that design and build trailers specifically for farmers UTF Australia’s range of flat-bed and tipping trailers can be made to order, ranging from 2500mm to 6500mm and 2 tonnes – 4.5 tonnes available in tandem and tri-axle configurations with no shortage of options.
UTF Australia’s trailers also have options available to suit the needs of trade and domestic customers along with a range of plant trailers.
Livestock producers looking for a lick feeder with feeding rate accuracy, good functionality, a long lifespan and safety, can’t go past the UTF Australia’s Universal Ultimate Series feeder.
The Clarkes designed the Universal Ultimate Series feeder with a one adjuster feeding system to improve all aspects affecting the lifespan of a feeder, feeding rate accuracy and functionality and safety for both the producer and livestock.
The Ultimate Series feeder uses one plate to control both the height and width of the feed available and all adjustments are made from outside the feed area with mounted galvanised ratchets with no tools required.
The Clarkes said one of the key aspects to the Ultimate Series design was not requiring the use of a bottom adjuster which can be susceptible to corrosion and shorten the feeder’s lifespan.
Other features of the Ultimate Series feeder are quick and easy adjustment of rates, fully welded and hot-dipped base frame, no supporting brackets in the feed area that can catch electronic ear tags, enclosed external adjust-
Bruce and Ben Clarke of UTF Australia.
ment, finer and more accurate adjustment to achieve lower rates and a tongue restrictor that simply swings away for cleaning of the feed area.
UTF Australia Ultimate Series and Original feeders are available in 3000 litre and 4200L ca-
pacities for sheep, cattle and pig enterprises and can be purchased fully assembled or flat packed.
UTF Australia is based at Goomalling and has depots in Northern Territory and Tasmania and multiple depot locations in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and WA.
Freight is available Australia wide for all UTF Australia products and UTF Australia now offers a finance service. For more information visit UTF Australia’s website www.utfaustralia.com.au or call 1800 555 355.
