By now you all should have received your voting papers for Council nominations. Please make sure you vote - it is essential to get our voice heard! Our Promotions Officer, Marg Rawlings, has nominated to represent all members on Council and I urge you to put pen to paper and put up to 4 crosses in appropriate boxes. Let's show Australia we care for our cows and want the best representation we can have. Wouldn't it be great if we have the highest percentage of voters per membership (hopefully 100%!). Don't put it aside to"do later" - if you are like me it will get forgotten and the closing date for voting papers will pass before it is done. I have already filled mine in and posted it back!

Here's some photos of 2 calves I have retained as bulls. They still have a long way to go to keep their "jewels" but at this stage I am quite pleased. Last year no bulls were kept (the 3 I picked for bulls last year were all PHA carriers so are now freezer fillers!). There are no PHA carriers in these 2 so it will just depend on how they grow out. Andrea Here's some of the calves during "Mad Cow Hour" A picture of our 3rd calf (Campania Casanova X Deyrah Clover) and her Mum Clover. Didn'T know giving names would be so hard...I found it easier to name my kids.
Well we went to Melb for 2 weeks (Jess was representing the state) and we got back to 3 calves. Here are pix of 2 as the camera ran out of batteries.
Web site is excellent and instructions on how to create a post are clear and concise. Well done Marg.
Enjoyed catching up at the AGM - isn't Clarendon House beautiful! See you soon at the National AGM Regards, Sue Hi everyone. Thought I would attempt to load photos. We finally welcomed a little red bull calf. He is now 3 wks old and growing quickly. Here he is with Mum Dinah. Hangin' out with Mum Cute and curious Hope everyone is wintering well and able to put away the gumboots this week. Pam & Paul Macfarlane Mesmereyes Dexter Stud |
