24.01.2022 Baxter... you don’t know anything about that do you!?

24.01.2022 Twins to one of our Damara X ewes today and a nice black male to another yesterday. Larger size and strong lambs from the mixed blood ewes.

17.01.2022 Peaches showing some love!

15.01.2022 I've seen some amusing interpretations of bovine behaviour over the years. Misused terminology, random creations of cow phrases and pretty outlandish management... claims typed from the fingers of 'those who do not approve of our care and management of production animals", (or urban journos in brave attempts to sound knowledgeable), but one that gets me every time is the "forceful impregnation" or "rape" of a cow. The phrase/s come directly from the bible of 'Emotively Interpreted Misinformation' authored by the animal rights cult leaders and blindly, naively repeated by their sheeples. Whilst ever a healthy, sexually mature bovine is not in calf, every 21 days for about 8 hours, her behavior becomes really quite remarkable. An uninhibited lust bag driven by hormones to mate. She'll 'ride' whatever tickles her fancy. I've seen in season (bulling, on heat) show heifers jump their handler, fences considered non existent, bulls flirtatiously treated like play things... until he gets on board, so to speak. They'll bellow, pace, let the world know exactly what they want and THEY WANT IT NOW. (there are also the stealthy, silent, shy types- they still want the same thing but prefer the less obvious approach). Regardless of whether a cow is AI'd (artificially inseminated) or mated naturally with a bull, impregnation cannot be forced. The egg will not be receptive to fertilisation at any other time. AI is simply a management tool. (that can be deemed to be much more gentle than a bull). Any debate regarding a negative impact on the cow's welfare, with AI, is simply ignorant of the process. She can no more be forcefully impregnated than that bull she is jumping be raped!!!! Laugh or cry? Not understanding bovine behaviour is perfectly acceptable (and quite normal if you never work with them), but truly critics, if you don't understand, perhaps you should just shoosh. Or ask and listen. It would create a far more complimentary perception of your intelligence. See more

15.01.2022 New arrivals, our Damara pure bred and Damara X sheep. Maybe all males so far, even the twins!!

13.01.2022 Proud to be Australian. Did you know Murray Greys are a breed of beef cattle developed in Australia to suit Australian conditions? Featuring traits such as *...maternal excellence including high fertility, ease of calving and milk, *fantastic natural temperaments, *inherent carcase quality brilliance including taste, tenderness, yield and MSA (grading) compliance, *easy doing ability and ease of maintenance, *light coat colour for heat adaptability and resistance. They truly are a quite remarkable, dinky di, true blue, bonza Aussie invention. And ripper on a barbie, too. Have a shoulders back, chest puffing, head high Australia Day people and celebrate all that is good. Fair dinkum. Ya wouldn't wanna miss it for quids.

03.01.2022 The struggle is real! 2/3rds of Qld is drought declared. We have families living on stock routes, de-stocking completely, unable to provide basic essentials du...e to no income. Communities and businesses are hurting and closing. How can you help! *Share our posts and raise the discussions let your friends and family know "The Drought is not Over" *Monetary donations helps us provide vouchers, iga cards and pre paid visas for families to spend in communities and in return support their local businesses. Visit www.droughtangels.org.au to donate. *Contact us if you would like to support by fundraising or if you would like more information on Drought Angels But most of all dont forget our farmers because every house relies on our primary producers. Without them what becomes of Australia. *Photos courtesy of a family we have been supporting.
