SHELLShellySmilingRED5Y: Our calving time must be getting close - or Collin has gone a bit stranger than usual.

I say that because he was up on the hill with us today, seemingly peering at our udders!

It's a good time of year to bring calves into the world. The weather is warm-to-hot, and we're getting occasional light showers of rain - hopefully enough to keep the dams topped up and save Collin and Fran the trouble of transporting water.  That's a job they hope to overcome with the installation of the new water tank, but that's still awaiting a bit of agricultural plumbing. Mind you, I think that once the new calves have arrived we might all move to a paddock closer to the house.
That might be good for our offspring, but we'll miss being on the hill - and watching Imogen on her new motorbike, bought by boyfriend John, who has also made a bit of a circuit down at Bottom Dam, just over the fence from where we are right now. 
Meantime, as you can also see, Michaela is looking fat enough to explode! Whether or not she's about to calve, I'm standing well back!

OUR NEXT MEAT


We'll soon be taking orders for our next meat deliveries.

Those who bought any of our meat packs last time around will be advised directly of what will be available and dates for pick-up or delivery.

New customers are welcome! Information on meat pack options will be forwarded on request to fran@greenpasturesfarm.com.au

As last time, all processing will be closely supervised in line with our view that animals we breed for food need to be treated with respect, and subject to minimal stress.

Certainly, the latest steers being grown for our family, friends and neighbours have been enjoying a relaxed lifestyle, with plenty of sunshine, feed and water aplenty.
