I should update this thread with my new Yard...

36 acres

29 of which are looked after by 15 of these.

Poll Hereford Bulls - The Older ones used to win at the royal show, plenty of ribbons, but now the Pop is too old to be bothered with that.

 

the other 9 acres of land is around the house.. takes a full Day to mow the lot with the Ride-on , Use the cutter and tidy the whole place.. 

usually a whole weekend affair once a month to get rid of fallen trees n shit, move / cut firewood.

 

 

Some Photos:

Back Yard ( Upper Paddock 1 is from the Fence to the far pine tree line)

 

 

Upper and Lower Paddocks 3/4 (Down to the end of the Tree line on the left is ours)

(Toolangi State Forest / Yarra Ranges in the distance)

 

 

Back Yard to the left (Tree line is the road (next photo))

 

Down the road to the side (Standing at the corner, our property goes to the end of the road that you can see(Which is where i was standing for photo 3))

I Mowed this.. and FAARK it took a long time

then i found out council does it 3 times a year..... 

 

 

Back of the house (where i took photos 2 and 4 from)
This tree came down out of nowhere..

took me 2 hours to cut it up and another hour to cart it all down the back to the burn off pile 

 

From the back of Lower Paddock 4

Looking up at where i took photo 3

Small Dam up close, the scrub in the distance is our Big Dam, the tree line to the left is the trees you see in the far distance of photo 1

Properties are like the Harbour Bridge painting....

[CodeBurn3r]

Yeah.. i haven't even started on what needs to be done to all the Barns and Sheds 

[Bumpty]

Good stuff ty,
Does the property have any irrigation or a history of cropping, or is it just beefys.. Hairyfords.

[CodeBurn3r]

Partners Pop used to Breed cattle

 

There is an old Dairy at the back of the Yard (4 stalls and a whole heap of equipment)

that was probably 40 years ago..
But thats all, its always been Livestock.

All around us is vineyards.. 

 

There are a few birthing stalls down the back of our big barn but that stuff is all well and truly run down..

 

but its mostly waterproof and holds a heap of car parts, Bikes and cars

 

p.s. he has retired (was a DR) so he is now just dealing with the other 60+Acres down the road where all the cows are.. as more of a hobby..

[Hypnotic]
