Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Well you boring lot have you nothing to speak of.
The weather?
Good breeding season?
Record beef prices?
Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it so slow?

I know I've just been busy, busy and the weathers getting hot and it's paralysis tick season... fattening two animals (steer and a year old bull) to send to the freezer and because it's our first time, just working out all the bits has been a job and a half. Not doubt next time it will be easier.

We had organised a butcher to come to our property and dispatch them, hang in his portable cold room and butcher the meat but he's been soooo unreliable we're going back to plan A - abbattoir and butcher shop. As it's getting hot as well it's far better cutting up in the fly controlled shop, rather than under our house.

And you're right Mark, Christmas will be here before we blink!

Mark, I have checked in daily between customers, minding the shop while Graham gets all the pre-fire season tractor work done. I was waiting to see if you could beat the record 34 users on-line without anybody actually saying anything.

I've been stuck at home with no web access for over a week as the clutch died on the Land Rover. Naturally the garage that has been complaining of slow trade for months had a rush of work on when this happened, so I had to wait my turn. On the plus side, I have made progress on the thesis.

Been busy with horse "things" - the Australian version of "Equitana" has been on - have been involved in that - but still managed to "talk Dexter cattle" to a couple of horse people! had visitors for a couple of days, nothing much seems to be happening in Dexterdom near me.

Getting awfully hot, if this is spring - god help us this summer. The Grass / pastures are growing down the east coat of Australia, we have been forecast a fairly wet (read humid) summer - so hopefully the bushfire risk wont be too bad this year - but next year !!! wow it will be a potential disaster.

Been checking in regularly. Hope the Classification day goes well for you all over there. Its a great tool if you use it properly.
