Yes a new season is upon us....Winter.
It has been a strange summer this year with our first real dry summer and autumn in many years and hence we are very short of feed going into winter.
We have some exciting new genetics this year with the importing of Bowen embryos from Australia. It will be interesting to see how the Aussies stack up in the Kiwi climate.!
Two D'artagnion heifers Left, Otapawa Spot 3053 ET out of Donor Dam Spot P30, ( Full sister to Spark 3060), she was awarded Champion All Breeds Heifer out of a class of 16. Lovely female. On Right is Almond 3017, a lovely dark thick heifer. Both are in calf to Bowen Western Star W035. Pictured Feb 2005.
High Voltage is still lame in his left hip area. He will be retained at Otapawa and used lightly as per Vet advice. He is too good of a bull to put down!!!!
