A few sheep and cows here and there.

Catalyst sheep, Angus cattle and Advancer cattle.
A nice 40c day. The hot northerly wind took the fun out of it!

Clear Creek U23U3 is the sort of bull that I reckon can really offer some potential to both beef on beef, and also beef on dairy.
Top 5% for calving ease, birthweight of -0.2, 600 day weight of 127, EMA of 12.2, IMF of 4.5.
He’s top 8% on Angus Breeding Index and top 1% on Beef on Dairy Index.

Experimenting growing Premier Digit grass in north east Victoria- been in for 3 weeks and looking good so far!
Lots of learning to do over the next few years to fully understand how to get the most out of digit down south

We are trialling growing Premier Digit in north east Victoria - this was planted 16 days ago and so far it’s looking quite exciting with 37 plants per square metre so far.

We now get 46% of our rainfall in the traditional non growing season, so hopefully this is a solution to using that rainfall!

Advancer bulls are growing out nicely
