As we have too much grass, we purchased these weaner steers, with the help of our agent, Kris Loughlan, at a weaner sale at Mortlake, where 8000 head were yarded on Thursday. They averaged 299kg and are bred on Murdeduke lines, well known in Western Victoria. When they arrived here yesterday, they had been 48hrs off feed with just water. Peter had prepared our yards with clean water and hay and on their arrival, did not lift their heads!!
This morning Peter and I weighed (they averaged 303kg), drenched, tagged, gave a dose of Multimin and Easi-dose for flies to all 9 and they were the quietest cattle we have ever handled. They were weaned 4 weeks ago and obviously handled expertly.
Our aim is to add about 250kg per head to average 550kg and return them to the prime market in Spring.
I will document their progress.

Peter and I were very sad to receive the news from Kay last night that Phil Worthington had passed away, after a tenacious fight with his health.
Phil and Kay have been ardent fans and breeders of the Lowline Breed for many years, starting soon after we exported the first live Lowlines to the South Island of New Zealand.
I remember visiting Phil and Kay’s beautiful property as part of a tour of Studs organised to coincide with the ALCA AGM held in Christchurch, the first outside Australia. As I disembarked the bus, my eyes focused on a four leaf clover in the grass and I knew we were lucky to have this couple continually promoting the Lowline Breed through schools in the Ragiora district and beyond, teaching young people all about their cattle.
Phil often flew to Australia to attend meetings and we spent a hilarious evening with him, Gordon Guthrie, also a New Zealander and Julie Knight after the ALCA AGM in Mt. Gambier. We became lost finding a “remote” restaurant and took directions from Gordon’s wife Debbie on the phone in NZ, who had more idea of Google Maps, than we did in Australia!!!
Phil’s presence and advice will be greatly missed in the Lowline world.
Vale Phil.

For over 40 years I believed that I got the best results when drenching from either an injectable or oral drench, when I knew the product has got inside the animal. Drenched applied these ways gave me good results, as I weighed the cattle pre and post drenching.
Due to an abundance of grass, late last year I purchased some Angus/Wagyu steers, drenched them on arrival with an injectable Vetmec.
However, with no Autumn break of rain, early May I noticed the cattle looking a bit “wanting”. As my oral drench applicator malfunctioned, I purchased and administered a “pour on”, weighing the cattle as they went through the crush.
They needed to go through the yards again for drafting yesterday, so Peter put them over the scales again.
To my amazement, the A/W steers averaged a weight gain of 50kg in 28 days and the two Lowlines, born last year averaged 20kg gain.
Excellent results for an easier option of drenching for me at this stage of life.

A lovely surprize yesterday, when my filly, Mixed Spice, came 3rd in a metropolitan race at Doomben in Queensland. She started at 101/1 and gave punters a good return for their money.
Only injury was a black eye from a clod of turf thrown up from the soft 6 track.
After her win a fortnight ago, I am excited for her future.

21 years ago Peter and I became grandparents for the first time, welcoming the arrival of our gorgeous Karlee Joy Stebbins.
Today she celebrates her 21st birthday and we look back on 21 years of following her progress to the beautiful young lady she is today.
Have a wonderful birthday Karlee Stebbins and enjoy all the celebrations, followed by a life full of enjoyment, laughter and love.

RIP Randy Meisner, founding member of The Eagles after being in Rick Nelson’s band earlier.
You certainly have Taken it to the Limit.
One of my favorite bands.
Thankfully we still have your music.
