Yeh Jilleroo, that is my sentiments exactly with most aid. It always is greatly biased to those that do nothing. With all the disasters of late the people that elected not to insure certainly got the lions share of things. My neighbour and friend does not insure anything, he has plenty of money but is just too tight to part with it on something that he does not think he will get anything back however if something did happen he would be looking for what he could get and for someone to blame.
Sounds like you will be dragging out the swag for those heifers Jilleroo.
Getting very dry here. If we don't get something within 2 wks I will dump them in the tin mine and give them a feed of grain mix once a day as it won't maintain their weight while lactating. I don't like to keep them going around my paddocks when there is not any regeneration after grazing. If I leave a bit there it recovers very quick once we get rain.
I have been going very well with the inseminations this year, things just seem to be falling into place. My hands don't allow me to do more than 5 in one session, preferably 3 and some of the big cervixes are impossible for me to grab and manipulate. Having more to do has helped a lot with the extra practice but it just seems that I am getting things through the cervix with a lot less effort. I think subconsciously you find easier ways of doing things for your situation.
I had 11 due to return the bull earlier this week and so far I have only seen one of them with him so chances are looking OK for the inseminations.
