My Block Hand Bulletin

The three-leaf check that needs no gear, why the residual you leave behind decides how fast a paddock grows back, and how to measure cover without buying anything — plus pre-lamb ewe feeding, a bird flu update, and a big run of new breeding tools in the app.

H5N1 bird flu has been confirmed in New Zealand — the calm, practical version for backyard flocks, the lambing jobs coming up fast, our first named block-owner review, plus rain tracking and two smarter grazing tools live in the app.

The quiet winter jobs that decide how lambing goes — ewe condition, feed budget, lambing kit — plus a new per-animal record for every species (and your pets), and a winter bird-flu reminder for flock owners.

What frost actually does — and doesn't do — to worm larvae on pasture, why winter rest periods should get longer not shorter, plus two new tools live in My Block Hand: NAIT record-keeping and milk production tracking.

Drench resistance, why blanket treatment isn't the answer, and what we're building to help you make better decisions animal by animal.
