With DNA sampling getting into full swing we have had some feedback from DNA labs about issues they are seeing. Take the time to make sure your samples are collected correctly, it will save you time & money down the track. sheepmetrix.com.au/blog/dna-…

Has anyone had their TSU barcode scanner suddenly stop working on the XR5000? Seems like the USB port is stuffed? Happened to me a while ago before a job, then some weeks later started working again. Has now happened to a client. I’m stumped.

The inaugural @AHNConsulting information sharing event has been a great success. Over 80 farmers came along to learn about sheep Droughtlotting and how to manage climate variability and drought resilience. With thanks to @sqnnswhub @luhogan4 @sheep_data_mgmt

Replying to @AllflexAU
@AllflexAU green stick EID reader query. How do you change the settings on the stick so when the EID comes up on the XR5000 it has the space in the fourth spot? No space and so isn’t linking to animal lifetime data #whysodifficult

Data underpins good genetic evaluation, or in other words, the better the data a breeder has when breeding or buying rams, the better informed their decisions will be 👉 loom.ly/dwzjFHU

Moses & Son in conjunction with @Tru_Test are holding a training day in Young NSW on Thursday 23rd June 2022. Registration essential. @AdeleOffley
Does anyone have experience projecting a Gallagher TWR-5 onto a larger screen for viewing ease in the yards? Trutest XR5000 goes through a laptop and used VNC Viewer, can the same be done with a TWR-5 or can you directly connect it to a screen?

Recommendations please for small handheld digital scales for weighing lambs Having issues with either a) too many decimal points takes too long to hit hold on weight, or b) not rugged enough to withstand moisture and grit from the paddock Please and thanks 🙏

Needed soil sampling system that was accurate, fast and easy in the hard clays we have. This took me 30mins to make and about $80 in materials. The auger bit was $65 of that. Credit to Oklahoma State Uni for the idea (lgpress.clemson.edu/publicat…). Right fert in the right place.
