Special day.....

the day started well before daylight..........

fed Moo and Baa in the dark.......

headed off bright and early and boy was it crisp and cold.........

I love catching the morning light as it changes.......

woops fell asleep writing the post last night so back again now this morning........

Looks like a bank of cloud on the horizon but it is just an illusion...........

today was a big day...........the inlaws have sold and this was the final muster of their property.............

it's pretty much all been done by Mr Chooky and Boy Wonder...........

Mr Chookys dad has not been back since he left 6 months ago..........he has not been well.........

I can't wait to get our life back to normal it's been a long time with the boys carting gear from one property to another........and with feeding so constant here there has been no time to rest and have a weekend off......everyone is tired and in need of a break.............I've made a list now and will start crossing it off........It should have been finished last week but not quiet done yet.........

I was happy to be mustering in the ute instead of the bike as it was freezing...........

I started off the day singlet, skivvy, jumper, coat, gloves............working during the middle  of the day I did get down to the singlet it was still and the sun felt warm.............but by the time we got home I had everything but the coat back on...........and it was dark.......

BBQ lunch..........

Boy Wonder and Ruger having a sleep..........

I was carting some cattle to another property.......

first load I found some baby emu's with their Dad.........

Dad's raise emu babies............this one has 6.........

look close on the ground just in front of the emu..........

We kept this cow aside as she look like she was about to calve........

and calve she did..........Twins...........bonus........

These babies should be coming home to be hand raised today and Mum needs to be put down..........one was quite weak so hope they survived the night........We left them with her to get some colostrum...........colostrum is like magic medicine...........sets them up for life..........

Second load to the other property I found a major water leak..........these cows were having fun playing in it..........up to there knees in slushy mud...........

&&&&

Oh and we brought two calves home in the ute last night too.........one just a few days old.......a boy............got to think of a name............the other maybe a month........if we had green grass I would just let it go into the paddocks but since we don't I will get some grain and pellets for it..........it can stay in special care for awhile...........it's a bit wild too so needs to settle down........it can hang  with the babies they will help it quieten down...........

ok off to regular office hours today.........

bye.......

Catch you later....
