25.01.2022 Meat packing today. One of the steers was a White Galloway and he came up very well. We have lots of delicious, well marbled meat for the Crfm Markets on Saturday. Come early for best choice

25.01.2022 Delivered 2 Beltie cows with calves at foot to happy new members. Think the cows are happy with the grass too

25.01.2022 Bringing up the steers

24.01.2022 Well, that was different. Picked up a young steer for a friend and took it to the sale yard. He managed to get his head through a small gap in their old race. Thought he was really stuck but a bit of pushing got him out. We also promised to vaccinate the mums but they thought they were too fat to fit up the skinny race. Greg managed to vaccinate them loose

24.01.2022 Happy Thursday EOM Nation!

24.01.2022 It’s not really great to have patches of Patterson’s Curse like this, but it does make for a beautiful photo

23.01.2022 Picking the next two steers to go to the abattoir. Such well behaved boys. My job is to walk behind and keep them following, but I’m usually lagging far behind.

23.01.2022 Time to go back to their paddoc. What good girls, walking nicely in a line

23.01.2022 See you at the #crfm tomorrow. Look at the delicious, fully grassfed meat that we just packaged

22.01.2022 We have corned silverside this week at #crfm. Put in cold water with brown sugar, bay leaves, balsamic vinegar and cloves. Bring to boil, then lower to simmer. Cook for about 3 hours. Add potato, carrot and whole onions. Cook for another 1/2 hour, add a green vegetable. Dinner from one pot. Make a white sauce ( butter, flour and milk, ) add either hot English mustard or parsley. If there are left overs, wonderful for toasted sandwiches wit cheddar cheese

21.01.2022 Managed to move all our cows and calves from an ajistment property today. Thanks Al and Hamish, we didn’t expect to achieve so much. The newly renovated cattle yards are having their first test; working well

20.01.2022 Help from granddaughter today

16.01.2022 Dinner tonight was entirely sourced from #crfm, apart from the saffron, which some fellow cattle breeders gifted us

16.01.2022 View from the top of our biggest hill

15.01.2022 How to sort cows when the yards are muddy; graze on the roadside, pick the cows that have been sold and move them up the roadway, away from the herd. We will need to put NLIS tags in them and vaccinate again, but at least it’s only 4 and not the whole herd. Thanks Liz & Ken for moving them up the road for us

14.01.2022 It was a Galloway beef sort of day. For lunch we had homemade Galloway beef pies ( thanks Al) and homemade sausage rolls. Dinner was Rogan Josh, made with Galloway hanger steak. Usually, we sell hanger steak to be grilled, but it casseroles wonderfully. This was just ‘melt-in-the mouth’

14.01.2022 Congratulations to Narooma Saefood on their Community Award, given by The Rotary Club of Hall, in recognition of their help to the community during the bushfires

14.01.2022 We do have ofal available this weekend. Put in an order if you want any, as it’s limited in quantity

13.01.2022 Congratulations on the safe arrival of another Minto Kia offspring

13.01.2022 Who can resist calf photos

11.01.2022 Nice uneventful trip down the Clyde Mountain ( the best kind) to deliver some belties to Emma and Rob, who sadly lost some of their belties in the fires. Thanks for lunch, nice to catch up and wonderful to see the regeneration of burned areas.

09.01.2022 And today we packed mince and sausage

09.01.2022 Another busy day, packaging our Galloway beef at the butcher shop in Mangoplah. Looking forward to trying some of this tasty meat. See you all next Saturday at #crfm

08.01.2022 Minto Galloway’s has 3 hides back from the tannery. Very hard to get hides back from abattoir, we took steers to an abattoir in Wangaratta which did allow us to pick up up skins the next day. Drove them from Wangaratta to Ballarat, so not something we can do often. The two dun hides are $1000 each, the riggit is $1200. We will have them at the #crfm on Saturday. Let me know if you are interested. We do have a waiting list for Dun hides

08.01.2022 Listened to advice from several customers and made soup from the stock resulting from simmering our corned silverside. Was delicious, so I will no longer discard the corned beef stock. For the customer who asked how to cook corned silverside, my recipe is; put the corned beef straight from packaging into cold water ( no need to wash meat), add cloves, peppercorns, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar ( or golden syrup or honey), bring to boil, then reduce heat for a very low simmer. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, add potatoes, carrots and onion and cook for another half hour, then add a green vegetable. I always make a mustard sauce; white sauce ( flour, butter, milk) with hot English mustard to taste and brown sugar. Dinner from only two pots . If any left overs, make toasted cheese sandwiches

08.01.2022 Congratulations to Narooma Seafood, on receiving a Rotary Club of Hall Community Award, in recognition of their work helping their local community during the recent ( January 2020) bushfires. Well done

07.01.2022 SOLD; all three hides are now sold, to three very happy new owners.

05.01.2022 Market tomorrow. The steers are doing remarkably well after rain bought the grass back. We will also have offal; tongue, ox tail, kidney, liver and heart

04.01.2022 From this; mud, mud and more mud, to this. Thank you so much to Liz and Ken who masterminded the project, ordered the equipment and supplies needed and master managed the work. Thanks to all the helpers, particularly Liam, who worked like a Trojan. So wonderful to have such functional yards again.

04.01.2022 On the road again, despite drizzle. They were mostly down Greg’s end, so I was able to peacefully read a book in the car

03.01.2022 Meat packing again; so pleased to see how well Galloways respond to the fresh green grass growing at the moment. The meat looks fabulous, so come to the market and get your Galloway delicious taste

03.01.2022 Dinner tonight; delicious Galloway scotch fillet

02.01.2022 Wonderful to see regeneration after the fires on the Clyde Mountain. Sadly, so areas have still not recovered
