I have been a livestock breeder, grazier and trader (cattle and sheep) for nearly 20 years. Since I can remember, I have always wanted to work in farming. I grew up in Kyneton and have lived in rural/regional areas all of my life, including Wagga Wagga, Hamilton, Bairnsdale and the Macedon Ranges. I come from farming stock, as my grandfather was a farmer and his sons (my uncles) continue to farm today.
So you could say that farming is in my blood. I've worked as a stock agent for Elders for five years, managed the Kyneton Saleyards for ten years, and bred, sold and traded cattle and sheep since I was 18 years old. As a small acreage landowner in Carlsruhe, I also have an interest in smallholdings and agri-tourism.

Services
Specialising in post and wire, exclusion or electric fencing for rural properties, large or small. We pride ourselves on a sturdy, quality construction. We cut and bale both small squares and round rolls across the Macedon Ranges throughout November and into December, depending on the season. We can create burn piles of fallen timber and remove gorse and blackberry bushes on your property.
Whether it is for your own on-farm use or to sell, there is no substitute for quality hay. Hay can be done poorly, or it can be done well. It's not simply a case of having the right machinery - it's about the skills of the person operating the machinery and carefully timing each stage (cutting, curing, raking and baling) around changing weather conditions.
Fallen timber, branches, gorse and blackberry bushes are a common feature on rural properties and bush blocks. But if you like your property to look neat and tidy, you're probably tired of seeing this mess every day! And that's not to mention the fire risk that this added fuel load poses on your land.
Improve your herd genetics with better classing of females and selection of leading sires to produce better and more profitable calves and lambs. With our advice, you can improve your annual profitability through effective breeding according to market demand. Genetic selection and classing of breeders to remove animals that have poor feet and structure or low milk supply etc.
A 50% deposit is required (by all parties IF multiple clients involved) for Reynolds Rural Contracting to commence works, with the balance due within 7 days of completion. Extra costs may be incurred by you, the client, should any hidden obstacles be struck when digging holes (such as but not limited to large rocks, tree roots, broken posts, old concrete) or if unexpected adverse site conditions are encountered.

We had an extensive amount of farm fencing installed and also repaired in other parts for our property where we run cattle. Josh was always on time, respectful, professional, keen to go the extra mile and his work is absolutely first class.

Ever wanted a tradie who turned up when he said he would, gave an accurate quote then did an absolutely awesome job? On top of all that he was a nice bloke with a great work ethic! Think you’re a perfectionist? Wait until you see Josh’s work. Irrespective of whether you want a small or large job I recommend Josh. A true professional.

Josh was amazing. 110 changes, rock beds we did not expect, making sure the dogs would not get out, COVID and everything else (including an annoying Ram and an over friendly cow). Highly recommend!
