It's been a while since I have posted anything on Ranchers and these photos have nothing to do with animals but I wanted to share my masterpiece with all of you!!! :D :lol: My son Mitchell wanted me to make him an Optimus Prime cake for his 4th Birthday!! Wouldn't be a truck or...

Hi all, thanks for thinking of us all over here, Leanin'H we aren't near the fires so you don't need to worry. Some of the fires were by arson the other from Lighting strike. The death toll this arvo is up to 121 and there are still some fires not under control yet and threatning more towns...

Hi Riverside here, As you all may already now Mulga is my Dad and I do the Shorthorn breeding so I thought I would answer this question. Our bloodlines are animals such as JR Red Cloud, Gumble Uranus, Eionmor Mr Gus, Eionmor Ideal, Waukaru Gold Ship, Marrington Victory, Chatswood Park Winning...

After a big rain the water can lay in some places for a couple of weeks bit by then it has dissapeared enough that you can usually drive around it!

Good question! The roads are only like that in the Northern parts of Australia, there are ditches on the sides of the road but there aren't enough. For some reason when the roads were first made they didn't build them higher than the land and of course over the years when they are graded they...

This is what our good rains are like in the territory! When it rains it pours! Dad took these photos a week or so ago when he went to get a load of cattle in the truck, but when he got there he wasn't too sure if he could get back out again! storms a brewin Rain cloud in the distance...

Nice pics Soapweed! Your cattle are looking good. My dad and I enjoy looking at your photos. :D

Well as a Shorthorn breeder myself I would have to say they are two very nice bulls you have there. I would have to guess that there IMF and EMA figures would be very good. Shorthorns are excellent do'ers, they have great growth rates and there marbeling is usually excellent, they do very well...

They do make good dog food and there are a coupleof meatworks (slaughtering plants) within Australia that do kill them. Camel has actually become a popular meat in the fancy restaurants along with Crocodile and Kangaroo (camel actually tatse alot like beef but it is tough). The only problem is...

The camel problem is on our station in the Northern Territory which is near Alice Springs but closer to Ayres Rock, I grew up on the station and when I married I moved to south of Adelaide in South Australia to run our Shorthorn Stud on our 2 properties here.

After a good couple of years of having minimal rain, we have finally had some rain in the Northern Territory. Since begining of Novenber we have had just over 4 inches of rain at the station. What are normally dry creeks are now flowing with life, these are some of the photos that I thought...

These photos are from a while back but thought you all might be interested. We went through many bullets and fencing material to try and get rid of the 1000's of camels that bombarded our station in search of Food and water, in the end we had to just wait for them to move on to the next place...

Yes we only run Shorthorns, but on the station we still get the odd white face through the herd from the cattle that were there before we bought the place.

We are a family operation so it is My parents, myself, my brother and his wife and they have 1 person helping them on the station and one person helping to teach there children on School of the Air, although for some reason it is very hard to find and keep good help here, especially on the...

There certainly are alot of questions to answer and I will do my best to answer them all! The weight capacity of the truck that we can load is approx 36 tonne or about 72000 pounds. We normally load the trailers from the back but there are also side doors if we need too. It's a double deck...
