Something for our followers & land owners to keep an eye out for!

⚠️ BIOSECURITY ALERT Something to watch out for if you own pigs or horses - or have feral pigs on your property.

👉 The gist:
A mosquito-borne virus has been detected in two Queensland piggeries, feral pigs in NSW and mozzies in Monto, Goondiwindi and Inglewood.

🦟 What it means:
The virus (Japanese encephalitis) can cause unexplained stillbirths in pigs and inflammation of the brain in horses, and can potentially cause serious illness in humans.

🐗 Biosecurity advice:

- The virus could spread to the Desert Channel region through feral pigs.

- People who work or live near pigs, including feral pigs, should look out for signs of the virus; including unexplained birth complications in pigs, or imbalance or poor vision in horses

- It is not possible for people to catch JEV directly from pigs, horses or from meat; only from a bite from infected mosquitos.

- If you suspect a case of the virus, report it to your local vet.

👇 What you should do:

- Wear loose, long-sleeved clothing when working near pigs or feral pigs.

- Take measures to avoid mosquito bites and wear insect repellent where possible.

• Sunday Funday •

On Sunday Jessie and I met our friends Sandy and Ian on a neighbouring property to help out the owner with some cattle work! 🐄

We got busy helping with mustering, branding, castrating & vaccinating. I manned the cattle gates like an absolute boss. 10/10 if I do say so myself! Jessie enjoyed getting up close and personal with the cattle, learning about all the different processes around branding and castrating.

Thankyou to the proptery owner for having us and Sandy & Ian for inviting us to tag along!

Catch ya later,
Kirsten & Jessie

• Long Weekend •

What better way is there than spending a long weekend on a beautiful piece of land?

This weekend has been full of laughs, exploring the property and of course hunting!

Some highlights from the trip include Nova going one out catching an impressive sow, Kirsten scratching a bull named Benchmark and Jessie getting out with his gun to further reduce the pest population!

Huge thankyou to Ian, Sandy and the property owners for having us. Can't wait for next time.

Catch ya later!

• CQ Boar Hunt •

This weekend Tails & Tonners packed Nova and the car and went out to Emerald for a weekend of hunting, camping and a visit to the CQ Boar Hunt Competition.

We didn't catch any piggies big enough to enter the competition but it was amazing to watch all the competitors have their pigs weighed and displayed, amazing job guys 👏

Special thankyou to the property owner for having us and our friends Sandy and Ian for bringing us along!

Catch ya later,
Kirsten & Jessie

• Sneaky Sunday Hunt •

Hey T&T, I know it's been a while since you last heard from us, late last year Jessie got himself into a bit of mischief with his bike and had to take some time away from hunting, he's now recovered, back at work and has been itching to get back into it. Nova hasn't been real impressed with her trips to the dog parks and walks around the house blocks with Kirsten, sorry Nova 😂

Last fortnight Jessie, Kirsten and Nova had the pleasure of tagging along to a few local blocks with some great guys and their dogs, it was a dry run but a perfect opportunity to warm up.

We got a call yesterday asking if we would like to come along again for a sneaky Saturday night and Sunday morning hunt, Jessie's reply - "Be there in 5" 🐷

Unfortunately Kirsten had to stay behind and man the house much to her despise, but watch this space for the next hunting trip, you won't be able to keep her at home!

This weekend ended different to our quiet warm up last fortnight with 2 pigs!

Well done dogs - let's hope there is more where that came from!

Catch ya later,
Kirsten + Jessie

• Assesments + Quotes •
Did you know that here at Tails & Tonners we offer an assessment of the land and quote free of charge?

This helps us to best determine the type of pest, the regularity they visit and the best course of action. This way if we arrive and assess the land and it's not feral pests there is no cost to you.

Here's a sneak peak in what we look for when assessing the land for feral pigs - attached is a photo of pig wallows. A textbook tell tale sign there are pigs visiting your property! They use their body to "wallow and root" within the ground for bedding and food.

Contact us today for your free assessment and quote!

Catch ya later!
