[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1282887, member: 5956"] Yeah, something on a TV quiz the other night referencing "downunder" as Australia made me add the East. :) Don't want to be confused with the West Island! I used to think it was pretty easy up here, being warmer and so on, but the soils are heavy and watching the dairy farms nearby, I've concluded it's a lot more difficult than I used to think and I'm probably not, for all my lack of original farming knowledge, doing too badly these days. I think some weaner fairs down south are still going that late, aren't they? Up here they start in February right up north, because they need to shift the stock around Houhora before there's no grass in the summer dry. Waihou is around and her stock are looking fantastic as usual. Her calves are a couple of months ahead of mine. Yes, I understand there's been an extended feeding out period down there. [/QUOTE]
