On the weekend we found one of our first-calf heifers had a brand new calf! Unfortunately she wouldn’t let it feed so we brought them down to the yards to give the calf a hand.
We put mum in the head bale with some feed as this helps keep her calm and less worried what’s going on behind her, making it a lot safer for us and the calf.

Luckily the little one required very little instruction to get to work, and before long her tail was wagging and she was working up a decent milk moustache!

This afternoon it looks like the calf has had a drink through the day, but as it’s quite hot, we’ll keep them in the yards for now and keep a close eye on them until we’re sure they’ve got it all sorted out.

Did you know calves wag their tail when feeding? Pretty cute hey! Also pretty noisy 😂

September has been a busy month!

It’s calving season so we’re keeping a close eye on the heifers and cows, checking water points, and keeping up mineral lick supplies to help them utilise the drier winter feed.

There’s been some nasty fires in the region over the weekend - big thanks goes out to the local Rural Fire brigades who’ve spent their weekend protecting properties and lives! We’ve been preparing for a drier start to summer, checking firebreaks and firefighter pumps at the ready.

We were out on the road with deliveries earlier this month and it was great to catch up with new and returning customers. October delivery dates will be released this week, so it time to check your freezer to see if you need a restock!

Hope you enjoyed this little video I shot while we were putting out mineral lick for this mob of cows. Not a bad “office” I reckon! Have a great week everyone!

Today is R U OK? day and it’s a good reminder to check in on our friends, family and work mates - even when things seem OK. We don’t have to have all the answers, but sometimes a chat, a call or a smile can make a world of difference. 🌻

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, granddad, step-dads, uncles and friends that play such an important role in our lives!

August 26th is International Dog Day! But to be honest, everyday is a good day to celebrate our doggos! 🐾 ❤️

Our dogs are an integral part of our farm and worth their weight in solid gold (even if they don’t always listen and respond as expected lol!) 🏆 🌟

I’m resharing this reel from last year in memory of Spike and Ray (who featured in this, and many past posts) who’ve gone to chase rogue bullocks and chew stinky bones in the great pasture beyond x 🪽🫶

The number of cattle needed to fix a fence: zero 0️⃣

The number of cattle that come to watch you fix the fence (that they broke!): all of them!! 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮 🐮

And they had to give the old farm ute a sniff all over just in case there was anything interesting in there 😂

Perfect “golden hour” light for these photos - doesnt it make the steers look lovely and shiny!! ✨

Our August delivery has sold out but if you’d like a pack for September jump online or drop us a message! 📦🚚🤠

Exciting news - our first calves of the season have dropped! These two little ones were born yesterday afternoon and are pretty darn cute! Shouldn’t be too long before they have some more playmates 🐮

Today’s sunset was full of lovely soft pastel colours. The smoke in the background is from one of our neighbours doing a hazard reduction burn - definitely good weather for a toasted marshmallow! Not a bad view for the cows either 🌅

I think we are in for another cold evening tonight - stay warm and have a great weekend! 🤠

While our cool mornings are persisting, Nature is sending out signals that we will be moving seasons soon!

Photo 1: Our Grass Trees (Xanthorrhoea) are putting up new spikes! They usually start coming into flower in August/September. Interestingly, the north-facing side of the spike flowers first, before progressing around to the southern side. We tend to have wetter years when there is a big flowering, so will be keeping a close eye on these, with the forecast now officially stating we are in an El Niño weather pattern.

Photo 2: Some of our gums trees are also starting to come out in bud and flowering. The flowers in the photo are from the narrow-leaf Ironbark tree (Eucalyptus Crebra ). The majority of our property is basalt country with narrow leaf ironbark but we do have some areas of silver-leaf Ironbark as well (Eucalyptus Melanophloia ).

Photo 3 and 4: If you look closely you can see a galah high up in this old dead gum. I was watching this bird and its mate flying to a nearby trees to rip off leaves and twigs and bringing them back to line the hollow for their nest! I’ll be keeping an eye on them and hopefully will see some fledglings later in the year!

I also accidentally stepped on something when walking through some long grass the other day - we both made quick get-aways in opposite directions so I’m choosing to think it was a hare, and not anything more slithery!!! 🐍

We hope you’re enjoying the weather, wherever you are today!

Well winter certainly made its presence felt this weekend! We woke up to frosts and zero degrees on Saturday and wasn’t much warmer Sunday morning 🥶 The days are beautiful though - as long as you’re out of the wind 🌬️

It is the perfect weather for a Rolled Rib Roast for dinner (or tea depending what you call it!) 🍽️ I’m not the world’s best food photographer (and the roast onions got a bit burnt 😅), but it was very tasty! 😋

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the cool change!

Another week and weekend has flown past!
Thought I’d share a few photos of the cattle today!
Photos 1&2: First up is a shoot of our yearling and heavy steers - these are the ones chosen to be in our Paddock to Plate program. The second shot is these same steers in the back half of this paddock. They love hanging out under these trees and the view toward the Bunya Mountains isn’t bad either!
Photo 3: These are a few of our weaner steers and heifers. They are working through fenced off sections of the creek flats. As you can see from the light it’s late afternoon and the rest of the mob has gone back to the water yard already, but a couple are getting in a few last chomps before they leave.
Photo 4: This is Bro! While he’s not a cow he does like working cattle so I think he deserves a photo! He’s taken to sitting in the bike when he’s waiting in the Ute to work - he likes the elevated view I think!
Photo 5: I can’t post photos without adding in a sunset 🌅 This one is taken from down on the creek flats. I thought we might get a shower from the dark cloud but nothing came of it - other than a nice picture!

Hope everyone has a great week!
