Jobs that have to be done

I'm currently sitting on our veranda in a cool breeze on a hot humid day waiting for our farm helper man to come visit.  After a good long week of our beautiful new bull watching the girls from afar it was time to move him in.  Which meant sorting out the herd.
We decided to bring Franklin out with the younger bulls and get them ready in another paddock. They aren't happy about it but after some extra feed they have now settled down.
We also put the mum's with younger babies in another paddock as well, however amongst it all our young tan steer has decided that he wants to be with us and the chooks.
Here he is while the rest are sitting in the breeze - he's the naughty one in the yard

A Whole Lot of Bull


After we did the Cattle Handling Camp at Inverell in October we made the decision that we needed a new bull.  Our young one just wasn't coping with all the girls we now have.  So after much discussion we purchased Argyle Lodge Morroco.  He was a 6 year old proven bull that had great genetics and his offspring were exactly what we were looking for. 

He’s been in quarantine for a little while and has been itching to get out and meet and greet the girls.

 
He's a lovely natured boy and our girls seem to think he's a bit of alright as well!
