25.01.2022 Yard weaning Bindugan calves and our Burnt creek calves, around 500 here , spend about 6 days being fed and handled, all calves had Selenium, vaccinated with Clostridium vaccine and Bovishield vaccine

22.01.2022 Nice to have some feed accumulation over spring

21.01.2022 Weaner steers being trucked to Barnawatha cattle sale via Corcoran Parker sale tomorrow, guesstimate around 330 kg average, need a big rain in the north to keep coming

21.01.2022 Feeding bulls prior to joining next month , some big boys here at well over a 1000 kg,mall vaccinated for Vibrio,Clostridial and drenched

18.01.2022 Moving heifers.

17.01.2022 400 steers let out of yard yesterday after yard weaning process, very quiet and well handled now after being yard weaned , great result and these cattle just settle immediately and feed

17.01.2022 Another great spring day, just finished preg testing 2nd calvers via ultrasound by Delatite Vet Services, 94 % in calf

16.01.2022 Watching the storm roll in over the neighbours paddock . Great photos rodda.

16.01.2022 the last mob of weaned calves just off mum

14.01.2022 Moving cows up steep gully and thru marrow gate from a long way off with dogs

13.01.2022 moving cattle at distance

12.01.2022 6-8 week old calves in for marking, first exposure to dogs and very touchy and will break and run if panicked, if too much pressure applied

12.01.2022 600 calves weaned yesterday into yards, moving whole mob into next yard, teaching cattle that no joy to be had trying to break back individually, go back into mob for safety and just enhancing herd instinct, also for them to understand pressure and release from dogs working , after a few days these cattle will walk quietly out of yards and retain a quiet demeanour for life, easy to handle and resistant to stress

11.01.2022 Poking 150 heifers thru a gate quietly with Luckie

10.01.2022 Spring arrived after a tough autumn and winter

07.01.2022 Reasonable spring so far this year, 108mm over August but will it keep coming over the next few months. ? Statistically the correlation between consecutive month rainfall in the Spring is considerably higher than in the Autumn rainfall patten. , so here’s hoping against many of the climate models but need all our Risk Management in place

06.01.2022 last day of weaning calves

06.01.2022 Mustering for last day of calf marking, early start but good to get it all finished

05.01.2022 Last mob of about 500-600 weaned calves in yards , pulled off mums yesterday, spend time evert day just handling them to get quiet, good for calves and training dogs, an indispensable part of our labour force, without them almost impossible to manage the cow herd
