[QUOTE="Australian Cattleman, post: 103534, member: 285"] We are experiencing a fairly stable weather pattern at the moment. Our days have been quite mild for this time of the year at around 16 C when usually they should be about 12 C most days. Down on the coast they have had 20 to 24 C which is very pleasant. I thought we would have had another cold burst by now,like we did two weeks ago. Darwin right up north (not far from Indonesia) had their coldest morning for many years a few days back. They had a low of 16 C. Usually their winter temps would range from 24 c up to 32C. 32C is a hot summers day for us up in the mountains. Most of the coastal people are still cleaning up after the flooding they had. Burnt some Love grass late yesterday to get some green pick for the cattle. Love grass is regarded as a pest around these parts,especially the giant stuff,the small type isn't quite as bad. We have noticed that our Brahmans and South Devons will eat it though the Herefords don't like it as much. Through the drought and droughts that we are always having any one who had a cover of lovegrass had reasonable conditioned cattle. Its utilised especially if a molasses type mix is used in the paddocks where it predominates. The only way to control it is to burn it or cultivate it out. After its burnt it needs to be heavily stocked. Enough ramblings from my place. Colin [/QUOTE]
