MT MEE NEWS June09
by Ian Wells
The season has turned, but we have never gone into winter in better shape. We have good grass reserves and plenty of surface water.

If the A$ behaves itself a little better, the depressing local cattle prices might mend too!

Technology changes so quickly and there is always something better . . . just around the corner – but when you succumb to the lure of a new mobile phone, what happens to the old one?
