Clearview Heifers: Mustering, Drafting and Trucking
We were been blessed with patchy storm rain at the beginning of the year. So we have been able to fatten cattle. But not knowing if we will get a wet season this year, since some are fat, and a bonus for us, prices are high, our management plan to cull coloured heifers were reasons to muster […]
Galahs on Wires
Some find our multiple gathering of galahs or cockies annoying. They don’t bother me and if they do strip trees, these trees seem to grow back. Yes I understand they can be very destructive in the wrong environment but they don’t bother me or where I live. There were a few (have a good look […]
