A place to find resources, discuss and learn about beef cattle farming and all its nuances. Okay, a place to joke around about farming, I guess.

The RAINS are here!


.
Well, the rains have been and gone.
80mm fell between Saturday and Monday; wonderful, slow, drenching, rain!

Don't take my word for it - here's Murphy casting a close eye over the guage too.

RAIN! Just what every farmer loves :)

The cows found it exciting too.

Lucky there's a fence between Storm and the girls!

Walking around the paddocks we have an abundance of weeds this year. Being the first year in over seven finally out of drought, got to be expected.

It's all good!

Last night confirmed this morning...

.



Last night's coming of Winter was confirmed this morning...

Last night the wind picked up and whispers from what's affectionately known as the "winds of change" arrived.

Every year the walls are pounded, the chimney echos as the weather announces the inevitable change from Autumn to Winter and, without fail, it began last night.

This is the view towards the horses stable this morning... Yes, there is a horse (Murphy) in there somewhere.

It's cold, it's wet, the dogs and cats want in and of course timing as ever, we had a new calf arrive three days earlier (which I haven't taken any photos of yet). The ducks on the dam are thrilled.

Not much (in human terms) is going to happen around here today...
