[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 1150504, member: 8192"] Well I bet its nice and cold down there on the granite belt this morning. It's nice outside here but very cold in the office where I'm supposed to be doing the books. We're feeding CS and M8U to the 50 or so cows and 240 heifers that we've got here. We're starting them on hay later in the week as well as a product called TruGraze instead of the M8U. The TruGraze is coming from Mackay and we'll feed it in rollers. The roo population here is still huge and they've contributed greatly to the demise of the last of our grass. Pigs pressure the homestead and shed area every night, they're starving. We need to get amongst them more, a mob of about 30 thunders off down the creek in a cloud of dust if you ride down there. The roos broke into the hay shed night before last - its the big wallies who have the muscle and cheek, not the reds and greys. We've got permission to go onto a council reserve adjoining our northern place and will put 200 cows and calves there after we run an electric tape around two sides of it - quite a distance but we've done it a number of times before. A job I'm participating in later in the week I'm told. They should be okay there for a couple of months. Hopefully they'll stay behind the fence. Some of you may have heard about the stagecoach accident in town earlier in the week. How scarey for the passengers! Anyway the other coach is still plying the route, loaded with punters, none of whom seem to have been put off by the incident. The owners have a number of teams of horses and it was one of the more experienced teams that went over the bridge, grey percherons. A plastic bag flew up in an eddy of wind and got caught on the winkers of one of the lead horses. The owner driver has a broken arm, his brother in law who was riding shotgun has a broken leg, and several passengers are still in hospital locally. If you're ever in Longreach, make sure you see their old time tent show, a real hoot. Kinnon & Co. [/QUOTE]
