  • A quick look at the cattle and the bulk feeders we are using to get them through this dry period. Sorry about the wind noise, RODE mic went flat.

      Cows getting a fair bit of money spent on them to look as good as they do, hopefully they will pay me back with a good drop of calves.

    It may not be the mountain block in your videos any more, but as a fellow farmer I think it is still showing a great insight into day to day life. Great to see you back posting some material, hopefully the transplant program works out. You just never know what’s around the corner. As an old bloke once told me “As one door closes, another one opens”. He was a great old bloke, but a terrible cabinet maker!

      Hahaha I can relate to the cabinet maker, be the same for a builder😂. Farming is not all green grass and cashflow that’s for sure.

      Thanks Daryl, definitely spent some money on feed for the cattle this year to keep them going. Not to hard to be positive when I’m with the cows like most thing in nature they bring me into the now and I don’t have to worry about tomorrow or what the future holds. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. 👍🏼👍🏼

  • @ivanolsen8596
    @ivanolsen8596 10 місяців тому +3

    Rob, did you see on the news a farmer in Qld sold his cattle due to the dry
    and replaced them with goats, now has bought another property and proposes
    to have50,000 of the buggers. Since he had them he has a processing plant,
    freezer trucks, live goat transport and a butcher shop in Warwick.
    Just a thought if the rains fail. Could run a few in the scrubby country and
    fatten them before sale, may help the cash flow.
    All the very best to you and yours, hope all goes well!

    • @mountainblokemoments
      @mountainblokemoments  10 місяців тому

      Yeah if I still had the mountain it might be an option. Very hard to lease country to put goats on unless that’s what it was setup for. We shall have to see how I go after the transplant, if I can get back to earning a few dollars, I might be able to get some dirt again.

      promises promises good old BOM seems to be good at making them but not keeping them. Getting to be a wider band of green to the south of us. Maryborough and south seems to be getting under most of these storms. we are sending cattle to Biggenden again tomorrow, prices have lifted a fraction and we can't afford to keep feeding them.
