Sick of poor/non existant mobile phone coverage so set up a wireless bridge and 30 acre outdoor wifi from starlink at the house. 10 to 100x faster speeds within 500 metres of the wifi mount. Only costs 700 dollars total. Will be glad to see the end of the telstra reliance.

The team at @Marbarrup were busy this week EMD & fat scanning the MA ewes + collecting their pre-joining WT & CS. Research suggests that fat measurements may be an indicator of whole body energy, so we’re hoping this data will contribute to better understanding the correlation.
