You may have noticed a few new (and old) faces around the over the last 6 months or talked to someone over the phone and had NO IDEA who they were.

Since Amber’s career move to become focussed on recreational fishing, Georgia has stepped into one of her shoes as operations manager of the Shop (much to the relief of our ever-ready back office Jodie)!

Georgia is from and has had similar roles in wholesale businesses on the coast and (along with her team of AI bots) is doing an incredible job getting her head around the Regenerative Ag world and bringing us into the 21st century with a whole new computer POS & SOON a new Web store.

Rene has filled the other shoe (and more) jumping from K2 Organic Beef allrounder, (everything from butcher shop QA & customer relationship guru to cafe manager, to in-store food dynamo). You may not have noticed her as she flies under the radar but shes our - calm on top, paddling like hell under the surface.

Shane is enjoying semi-retirement as a chicken farmer but still pops in a couple days a week to fulfill online and phone orders, and propagate his wisdom for .

We have Divin (yes that’s how you say it too) - our legal immigrant from the US (and he’s a kiwi- don’t ask!). He’s everyone’s right hand man (especially Rene’s) doing , & work (and now a trained ).

You may have noticed Moya - our other smiling barista for , Missy & Saffi- the dynamic sisters from just up the road who jump from meat packing to online and counter sales, Tim (every now and again) and, Oh Yeah Nick- who seems to turn up for celebrity appearances most !

Im not sure we’d win the but that’s the team (along with team captain Harley and a few bench player butchers!)

What’s your poo telling you about nutrition and herd health?

Too piled up? - not enough protein (most probably)- might be time (past time) to be supplementing with grain free protein pellets or meal? Too much dry feed, not enough green stuff! Probiotics like diverse microbial product could be a solution instead of feeding synthetics like urea.

Too runny? - Most probably means sub-optimal gut activity. Ruminants eat grass but digest microbial “exudates”. If microbes aren’t happy, nor are the hosts- your cows! It’s like having a non-functional pit. Maybe gut microbes haven’t adjusted to new, high quality winter feeds after rain and/or don’t have enough dry feed to balance the cookie dough! Do stock have access to micro-Toxin binders like or binders like in mineral feeders? Do they have as a free-choice option or ? Are you microbial dosing with or other probiotics in their water to pre-empt seasonal changes?

If your are like plateaus - not too wet, not too dry then everything is probably in balance- for now.

Be though and pre-empt seasonal feed changes by microbial dosing to repopulate your herd’s gut microbes! Come in to see the team next , call us on 54843771 or check out all the information we have online at https://www.kandangafarmstore.au/animal-nutrition

This is NOT a post about a train- Mary Valley Rattler - it’s about real to the that’s being used on your food today in Australia (despite being banned in most other big markets).

So despite being “under review” for decades here, it’s apparently the only option for an ever increasing number of “weeds” considered the enemy of conventional croppers.

While in the world we observe what those plants are doing and try and work with them developing land management practices that make “killing” an obsolete concept; sometimes people just HAVE TO kill stuff.

This is one of those times so we are so glad (as a neighbour) the management of this public entity has bucked the trend and chosen to use , herbicides rather than , (or worse).

While K2 Organic Beef hopes to go back to for vegetation management soon (with some new fences) for that area, the choices of the track maintenance crew in choosing a herbicide now make that possible (saving them thousands).

Happy day and a GourMay Mary Valley 2026 good news story (Gympie Regional Council, Visit Gympie Region).
