Nathan and Natalie have personally managed cattle, pigs, horses and farm animals, so they know how frustrating it is when feed or gear is missing in the middle of a busy season. Whether you need pellets, meal and grain mixes, bedding, mineral blocks, kid or calf milk replacer, or calf and kid feeders, everything is chosen for quality, durability and affordability.

How do I choose the right fencing and water fittings for livestock?
The right fence depends on the kind of animals, the terrain, and the frequency of maintenance. Goats or sheep need tighter mesh to avoid escapes or predator entry, while cattle or larger stock can use heavier wire or strands. Gates and mesh must be durable to withstand livestock pushing and weather wear. Plasson water fittings are useful as they’re designed to be robust and reliable. Secure, well-built water lines and fittings reduce waste, improve hygiene, and avoid frequent repairs or leaks.
What animal health supplies are essential for farms?
A good farm animal health kit should include medicines for common ailments, wormers, scour treatments (especially for young or recently moved animals), vitamins and mineral supplements, and tools for administering health measures, like syringes or dosing equipment. Mineral blocks, salt licks, and preventative parasite treatments help maintain health in a regular, predictable fashion. Proper bedding and clean environments also lower disease risk, making health supplies work more effectively.
How often should supplies like feed, bedding and fence materials be reordered?
It depends on farm size, number of animals, and season. Larger herds or flocks may need more frequent orders; demand spikes during lambing, kidding, or calving season. Weather can affect feed use (heat, humidity) and wear on materials like fencing or bedding. Planning ahead, ordering before high-use periods and keeping spare essential stock minimises interruptions. Also, delivery scheduling (weekly/fortnightly) helps maintain continuity without overstocking.

Farm life demands more than feed; it requires equipment, protection, and backup solutions. That’s why the supplies here go well beyond nutrition: electric fencing, gates, wire and mesh fencing supplies, Plasson water parts and fittings, soil improvers, mulch, and potting mix are all part of the lineup.

Animal care items like scour treatments, internal parasite control, vitamins, and tools for managing health are also available.

With weekly and fortnightly deliveries across the region, it’s easier to keep your farm running without making constant supply runs.
