Two weeks at Fish Creek & back on the road

Our crazy boys were very happy to have daddy home.

Green grass galore at Montrose. One of the best autumn breaks for a while has made feed budgeting for the early winter very easy this year. This time of the year is often very difficult feed wise, we have to build pasture covers going into winter and conserved fodder supplies can run low after long summer dry periods.
Good early rains and strategic use of Nitrogen fertilisers have helped build pasture covers early this and we will carry over about 200t (dry weight) of silage.
Maybe it's not the season, maybe it's the new management this autumn!! Perhaps I should travel every year....

The good season also means the cows should reaching the target body condition score at calving.
May be there is a bit too much grass in some paddocks (this hadn't gone past 3 leaves).
