Sheep farming across Young and the Hilltops region comes with its own rhythm, and producers in this part of NSW understand better than most that the work does not wait for a convenient time. At Dusty Rural Contracting, we service sheep farmers and graziers across Young and the Hilltops with sheep contracting services, providing pregnancy scanning, lamb marking, mulesing, crutching, drenching, vaccinating and sheep jetting to properties across the district. We travel to you with our own equipment and a team that is used to getting on with the job without fuss, whether it is a single service or a full day of work across multiple tasks.

What you get with us is a sheep contracting team that genuinely understands sheep work rather than just going through the motions. The Hilltops region produces quality sheep and wool, and the producers here deserve contractors who take that seriously. We have built our reputation on showing up properly prepared, working efficiently through the mob and leaving every property in better shape than when we arrived.

Sheep Pregnancy Scanning in Young

For Hilltops producers, lambing preparation is a serious undertaking and having accurate scanning data to work from makes the whole process considerably more manageable when conditions across the region can be unpredictable. We carry out ultrasound pregnancy scanning with EID data recording across properties around Young, giving you a reliable breakdown of dry ewes, singles and multiples early enough to make meaningful adjustments to your feeding and paddock program before the pressure of lambing season arrives. It is the kind of information that pays for itself many times over in better lamb survival and more efficient use of your feed resources.

Lamb Marking & Mulesing in Young

Getting lamb marking right in the Young district is about more than just getting through the numbers. It is about setting each drop up properly from the start so that your flock carries less disease risk, better identification and stronger flystrike protection going into their first season. We work across properties around Young and the Hilltops, carrying out tailing, castrating, ear tagging, mulesing and vaccinating with care and at a pace that keeps the mob moving without compromising the quality of the work. For producers running quality Merino or Merino-cross flocks in this region, having marking done properly from day one matters.

Sheep Crutching in Young

Young and the Hilltops region sits in a zone where spring and early summer conditions can create significant blowfly pressure, and letting crutching fall behind the schedule is a risk that most experienced producers around Young have learnt to avoid. We provide sheep crutching services across the district, working methodically through mobs to keep sheep clean and comfortable ahead of the warmer months. Beyond flystrike prevention, a good crutching job also gives you the opportunity to cast an eye over the condition of the mob while they are moving through the yards, which can flag issues worth addressing before they become bigger problems.

EID Recording & Data Management in Young

Producers in Young who are serious about improving flock productivity over time know that consistent individual animal records are one of the most practical tools available for making that happen. We record EID tags for sheep data accurately during contracting visits across the Young region, building up individual animal records at scanning, marking and treatment events without requiring extra handling or administration from your end. For operations focused on genetic improvement, targeted culling or simply having better visibility over how different lines are performing, clean EID data captured consistently across the season is where that work starts.

Drenching & Vaccinating in Young

Worm burdens in the Hilltops country around Young can build quickly after rain, and producers who stay ahead of their drenching program rather than reacting to condition losses tend to see significantly better productivity outcomes across the season. We carry out sheep drenching and vaccinating across properties in the Young district with proper technique, accurate dosing and the kind of careful stock handling that makes a difference to how the mob responds on the day and recovers afterwards. Combining drenching and vaccinating with other contracting work during the same yard run keeps your sheep's handling time to a minimum while keeping your health program on track.
