[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 1331230, member: 8192"] Hi all. Well I still don't have a pretty picture to paint, our longreach property is shut down and will stay that way for the rest of this year at least. We've only received 10mm (40 pts) there this year, unbelievable. We're going into our 5th year of drought. I am living mostly in our camp between Roma and Injune in the Maranoa. We still lease 2 places around there and agist cows and calves at Charleville in the Warrego. Our Winton place received reasonable summer rain and we have about 550 cows and calves there. The camper trailer was not appealing to face another Maranoa winter so we upgraded to a caravan recently. The country down there is drying off too now after good rain in February. We're just so sick of the drought...We've had more than our share! At present I'm in Brisbane helping with 1 year old grandson who had his eyes operated on this morning. All went well and he's full of cheek again this afternoon. My mum is still gong well. Diana and ken, did I tell you have some angus cows now. We bought a small number to fill an agistment paddock. They weaned magnificent calves by angus and simmental bulls, just corners. But they didn't sell as well as our charolais calves at Roma. Charolais are all the go at Roma. Are you ever tempted to go with wagyu? Hubby says we should get all angus cows and go for F1s. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
