Jilleroo, that grass in front is the sort that never needs mowing which certainly suits Grant. It does look very realistic though.
Yeh Dale that house cow sounds real good. John and Julie on the eastern corner of Dalcouth and Sugarloaf Rd have a couple of Dexters, I think they plan to borrow a bull soon so could be a good contact if you want to put her to a small bull.
I have had Pam up the last couple of days, she is very excited and keen about the purchase of her unit and the renovation of it. It settles on the 1st of Feb. I have always been the one to do all the realestate transactions and worry about things going right. Since we have been seperated she has had to do that her self, it teaches her a bit more responsibility and the reality of it all, like where to dig the money up for deposits, stamp duty etc. In the past I would do all that, juggling money around and Pam just new it would all happen. I have always said that you always need a bit of debt to keep you honest and working forward, not that I have any now, nor do I want any, but it is going to be good for Pam, she will look after her money better and not waste it now that she has responsibility.
I got a few pictures of the cattle tonight, not as many as I would have liked, the cows thought I was going to let them in a new paddock and ended up just in one big mob in the laneway to the front paddock. Also photobucket would not let me into the old site so I don't know if I can get it to work.
I can't remember what this first one is if it did work so I might do it twice.
This heifer is by The Grange Iconic, I have a couple more G heifers by him and I am pretty impressed. I might get some more semen for next year.
This is my heaviest calf a heifer, weighed 276kg yesterday, still another 3 months until weaning.
A pretty fast growing bull calf, not a good photo.
The heaviest calf's mother, just a moderate size cow by 9074, just a real good worker.
That will do for now. Jilleroo, we ran 30 cows 30 calves 2 bulls and 7 heifers through the yards just to weigh them yesterday and that was enough for us, on a nice mild day 24C.
