They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun
and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

What makes a feral pig so destructive?
In addition to the fact their populations can explode quickly if unmanaged, these pests have significant impacts on the environment, agriculture and biosecurity.

❌ Competition with livestock for feed and water, and an appetite for lambs
❌ Damage to fences, troughs and water infrastructure
❌ Digging that degrades pasture, reduces productivity and causes erosion and loss of ground cover.
❌ Disruption to fragile ecosystems through an appetite for native animals such as ground nesting birds and reptiles, including turtle eggs especially along the coastline areas.
❌ Carriers of exotic diseases with the capacity to devastate livestock industries

Here's a couple key steps on how you can manage feral pig numbers:

✅ Act early, work with neighbours and follow up.
✅ Follow best-practice management guidelines.
✅ Fully Licensed & Insured.
✅ Wild Game Accreditation
✅ Tailored Pest Management Plan suitable for each individual.
✅ Best Solution Contact Taylor's Feral Pest Control and discuss The Free Range Of opportunity such as Shooting, Trapping, Thermal equipment motion activated cameras, 24/7 Live Steam Cameras, highly effective working dog teams.

Feral pigs cause significant economic damage to agriculture in Australia, with estimates ranging from $71 million to over $100 million annually. This damage includes crop losses, livestock predation (especially lambs), and damage to farm infrastructure like fences and water sources

* The economic impact of feral pigs can vary significantly between regions, depending on factors such as pig density, agricultural practices, and the types of crops grown. �
* A study in NW NSW estimated the annual cost of feral pigs to wool, sheep, and crops at around $14 million. �
* In the Whitsunday Regional Council area, feral pigs were estimated to cost farmers an average of $4099 per annum for banana farms and $10,633 per annum for cane farms

How Often do Feral Pigs Breed
Depending on the quality and availability of feed,
breeding can occur throughout the year.
• Sows reach sexual maturity at around 25 kg,
typically at around 6 months of age but with good seasons and conditions lately we have seen them breed from 3 months of Age
• Two weaned litters can be produced every 12-15
months .
• Litter sizes can range from 4-10 piglets, with
fertility of the sow increasing with liveweight and
age.
• In ideal conditions, feral pig populations can
increase by up to 86% in one year.

What do feral pigs eat?
• Feral pigs are omnivorous - this means that they
eat a varied diet of both plant and animal matter.
• The composition of their diet will differ
according to habitat, location and season.
• The consumption of animal protein varies
between seasons and regions, but rarely exceeds 20% of their diet

To all the farmers back home now having to face the fact of shooting stock is heart breaking yeah we all know the cycle of life but they actually do care for the stock spending thousands of them, for what now left to suffer from Burns and must be put down

Huge shout out well done Trelly's
Supporting farmers

CALL FOR SUPPORT – .22 AMMO DONATIONS NEEDED

Trellys has so far donated tens of thousands of .22 ammunition rounds to support farmers impacted by the fires, and we will continue to do so wherever possible. However, the scale of this disaster means significantly more support is now needed.

We’ve had many local farmers come into our stores to collect free .22 ammunition for stock destruction. These have been incredibly emotional moments, with tears shed over the heart breaking reality of having to destroy beloved stock. This is never an easy thing to face, and our thoughts are with every farmer affected.

If anyone in the area is in a position to help, we are urgently seeking donations of .22 ammunition. All donated ammo can be dropped into either Trellys store, and we will ensure it reaches the farmers and landholders affected.

📍 Drop-off locations:
Shepparton: 03 5821 6572
Bendigo: 0427 595 158

📞 Weekend support:
We will be on call over the weekend and reachable on 0488 409 789 for anyone needing assistance.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for standing with our farming community. 🤍

Time to open this up QLD enough is enough look at what we can do back home in nsw time to get with the times

Feral pigs are wreaking havoc across the state and producers are pushing for parks to be opened for hunting. At Lyndon Barry's property, sitting between two national parks, the costs are adding up with pastures resown and exclusion fencing built.
