May2013_Mt Mee Ramblings

By Ian Wells
What an extraordinary season – six months without a drop of useful rain followed by months of unremitting downpours.  The ground is so greasy on our gentle Kalahari Downs slopes that it is dangerous to go ‘down the paddock’ – with even the tractor sliding sideways on the tracks..  But we will be sticking to that mechanised form of transport – because it is easy to catch and doesn’t need to be vaccinated against Hendra virus!

So caring for the cattle is just not easy.
