Not sure where you are finding these but get a kick out of getting them sister Janet.

A good day all round, worked Fly and Quade on seperate chores...Quade gets to move cattle off the feed bunk so I can

walk in to dump grain...I got tired of getting squished and ran over by cows as they boss each other for their parking spot at the trough. With Quade it's like parting the red sea...pretty cool with all that power.

Fly is moving the pens to water and stands up the yrly bulls wanting to challenge.

Mike and Loro down for a visit with Grand daughter Jade...growing like crazy...also 'almost walking' on her own.

Got lots of pictures for them.

Wind down...




Winding down on my 6 wk stretch of night shifts, cant wait until March

arrives for a different work load/pace. Using up old vacation time as well have

a number of photo sessions booked which makes for a different kind of ...'busy'.


Down to 2 cows to calve and one ewe to lamb out....we dont have big herds, just enought to make 'work' and around the clock vigilence. Certainly ties one down to the farm. The weather has be incredibly kind.

Just need the moisture to come before spring arrives.


Since I put off Fly's litter until later this year have been using her for cattle chores and getting her to 'steady' up,
move stock out of the pens etc. Good practial chore work until I can work the sheep later on.
The cross I have in mind for Fly will be Working, MVA/Performance prospects..and most likely an all red litter.

Dark reds too boot.


Thanks sister Janet for sending me the cute cartoon strip, dog humour is priceless.
