Welcome to the boards Nigel..... Would be great to see some pictures of your country and cattle........
Sorry for my delay in replying. I've been lurking for a little while now. I joined here as I have an interest in cattle and ranching and the American West in general. I have just finished reading a good book by David McCumber, The Cowboy Way, Seasons of a Montana Rancher, an insight into working on a "proper" working ranch. I also receive Working Ranch magazine which keeps me up to date on ranching news.
I have worked in agriculture for the last 18 years, 13 years actually working on farms and the last 5 in an farming related business.
I live in East Yorkshire in a farming community, much of the locality is rolling countryside, what are know as the "Yorkshire Wolds". Below is a pic, albeit not a very good one of the "wolds". Much of the land is given over to crops but there is a lot of livestock grazing on the land to steep to crop. I will try to post some pics of the cattle in my area. I don't have cattle of my own at this moment.
The cattle aren't mine but a local farmers. Typical of many in the area.
