[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 549756, member: 8192"] Hi all, I havent looked on here for a while so was pleased to see some news. We had 92pts of rain here for that last event, only enough to do damage to the standing dry grass. Nothing at our Winton place so that was actually better! It's been lovely warm weather mainly, up around 28 degrees, until today and yesterday which are much colder. Another rain event passing through to the south of us probably later in the week. We shifted 200 cows and their calves to agistment out of Muttaburra, a good paddock with a creek and it hasnt had stock in it all summer, as well as some good heavy rain. They should be right in there for a few months. In two weeks time we have to shift 700 head of cows and their calves from north of Barcaldine. 500 are going to Tambo - very cold country - just as well they're mainly charolais and have some hair! Having said that, the neighbours down there have good brahmans and they do just fine. The Tambo agistment country had over 2 inches which greened up the buffel grass very well but they're not sure what the frost will do to it. Then the stud cows and calves are coming back here, and the balance going to Winton. We're selling some really nice pregnant santa cows and a line of brahman cows and calves in Longreach sale on Wednesday to make some room at Winton for them. A shame but something has to give.... We did get to Farmfest on the Wednesday as we went to Toowoomba to collect a new and bigger truck. We need to cart more of our own with these high fuel prices! We enjoyed the day there as we don't often get to check out things like that. Must away! Cheers and keep warm down there you southern folk...... I saw on the TV about the floods in the US and really feel for those people [/QUOTE]
