[QUOTE="zookeeper, post: 642055, member: 10432"] Ta for the encouragement all, I shall try to get some photos up soon. K. Yes, South East Queensland to be more precise. Feel free to ramble all you like as well. B. Yes, she doesn't owe us anything that's for sure. She is a bit stand offish with any new calves to start with, so she has to be bailed up to let them on for the first few days, but once she gets used to them she lets them on no problem. She's definitely the boss though. C. Yes, the more colour the merrier for me as well, for now at least. Am actually trying to reduce our "footprint" on the Earth, so the cattle are a part of an attempt to have a Permaculture type set-up here on the blocks. The cattle are spread over two properties at the moment, one 10 acres, and one 42 acres. The 10 acre place is not bad country as far as feed/grass goes, that is where the house cow and the weaners are kept. The 42 acres is a rough block, but it happens to be the one next to the DM bull, so the heifers have to be here. We are improving it all the time though, with a bit of slashing on the tractor and some pasture seed thrown about occasionally. We have actually had one of the best seasons for about 10-12 years here at the moment, grass everywhere there is. We may have to lighten off, stock wise, when winter gets here though. No matter, there is plenty of room in the freezers. Having to hold down a full time job in the City, (about an hours drive each way) isn't really conducive to getting much done around the place, but we are having fun trying. Am not exactly computer savvy, so I'll see how I go with the pics. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
