Some pics of the last few weeks here. Winter has finally hit with a bang. We had our first frost of the winter last week, (about a month later than usual). This week a cold front with showers and strong winds and snow on the high country around here. Out fixing some fence this morning and the wind was really nasty on the fingers, temp was still above freezing but I'm not used to the cold. I planted wheat and oats after rain in early may and that has come up well. With frosty nights and the shortest day coming up, growth is slow so it will be some time before I can graze it, so still feeding hay until then. Pic 1 My number 1 bull on his annual holiday. 2,3 Wheat up and away. This is a dual purpose wheat that should have been planted much earlier for more forage and grazing but the weather didn't allow it. 4-7 Feeding hay. I don't have a tractor on my other farm so have to load a trailer at home and then throw it off there. Lots of calves popping out. 8 Found out what the clunking noise was under the Honda. 9,10 Firewood season, some red gum and yellow box to warm the house. 11, 12 Another steer and carcase competition at the end of May. My steer won Reserve champion light middleweight steer, 373kg (822) liveweight, and I also had the runner up to reserve champ. Always pleasing to be at the pointy end of the competition.
