Cattle Work

Mornings have been starting early, and before the last couple of days, cold as well.

We get going a bit early to avoid driving into the rising sun each morning, and hope to avoid the setting sun each evening, although it doesn’t always work out that way.

The Boss cleaning his windscreen because one thing worse than driving into the sun, is driving into the sun with a dirty windscreen.

We were trucking heifers back to our second set of yards today, but a couple of random storms put paid to that idea! 4mm at the house, but 9mm across the road to the other yards, and plenty of water along the road in places, so the last of these heifers will have to wait a few more days to go out again.

Weaners in the house yards, doing a bit of higher education.

Last year’s heifers strolling up to the yards, where they’ll be weighed and the moved into a fresh paddock.

And another sunrise.
