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

The Update


Finally after 10 years of searching and putting the poor real estate agents through their paces we found the right place in February 2011. One hundred acres just outside of town with a few dams already on it and some sheds. 
Of course it has lots of work to do - you know we can't do anything by halves. 

But finally we have a place to grow our own food and breed the beautiful Dexter cattle we've always loved. We are trying to keep everything as organic as we can.

 
The view!
