I was so excited when I woke up this morning to see the cows were back and wow what a picture they made.
Mystical Jamberoo Valley after the rains
For too many eastern seaboard farmers sadly last week’s rain was a calamity. For us it was like we had won lotto. My office window overlooks this paddock and every 14 to 21 days up until 6 months ago I could reliably look out the window and for three mornings straight watch the cows strip graze their way down the hill. It has been so long since the cows were in this paddock I had almost forgotten how magical it was
As you can see this morning they were already well down the hill and there was no strip grazing fences to be seen as there was only enough grass for just one feed from the whole paddock
But there was grass none the less and it wasn’t long before the water trough beckoned and I could see the gorgeous girls up close and personal
Below in the distance you can see our young girls grazing on the fresh new shoots on one of our lease properties
The girls wandered off to the midday milking
and it was all action – men and machines everywhere
Making the most of every opportunity to grow the next round of lushest, sweetest grass paradise can deliver to produce nature’s perfect nutrient cocktail for 50,000 Australians every day
Maybe even in the not too distant future it will look like this again
and as HT said its just great to feel like you are farming again
It really is a gorgeous view!
Yes Kylie it is indeed Sooo lucky to call it my home
