[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 1004410, member: 8192"] Thanks for that news OME. Bondfields deserve their success! No doubt folk have heard of the death of John Quintana and Charlie Maher in a plane accident at Roma today. Zander McDonald from also fell off a windmill recently and was badly hurt - why would he be up a mill, surely he had men to do that! I wonder if this round of the monsoon is going to come down this far. It's very hot and humid. Hopefully there'll be something decent somewhere to stem the avalanche of cattle heading south. The cows have not yet begun to come, wait until they hit the market in another few weeks.... Some good news for us that our wonderful regular buyer has stumped up to take 250 big feeder steers tomorrow, weighed and delivered locally, for premium money (for the current market that is!) They must make the dollars out of our cattle because they keep on coming back - more power to them. By a stroke of luck, we've managed to secure transports which are rare as rocking-horse doo-doo. That gets the steers off our (northern)country and makes a little bit of room for the weaners yet to come off and to spread cows out. Mind you, apart from the 800-odd we already have on agistment, we still have quite a few other dry stock around the place. After easter, if there's no rain, we'll be moving the cows and calves that are being fed cottonseed, on the most western block, onto agistment which we are lucky enough to have up our sleeve. A few inches of rain would diffuse the situation for so many people. [/QUOTE]
