About Us!
The question is where to start. We were previously dairy farmers by breeding & milking Stud Holstein Fresian and Jersey Cattle and more recently have closed the dairy down and are now building our little beef herd up with Highland & Murray Grey Cattle.
In our spare time we enjoy breeding and showing cattle, poultry and waterfowl and the kids like to put in their sewing or painting too sometimes. We are fortunate enough to have five wonderful children comprising of four daughters and a son.
We have shown our poultry, waterfowl & cattle over the years at various club, agricultural & horticultural shows. We don't profess to know everything about showing any animals of any kind, and are far from the thought that our animals are the best their respective breed can be. But in saying that we will continue to breed as close to the breed standards as possible and bring in new stock when needed and have great fun trying to achieve the perfect animal. (if there is such a thing!).
Information about the various animals and their breeds comes from various sources including the breed society in question or for poultry we used Australian Poultry Standards Book (First Edition) grab your self a copy and use it as a check list against your birds.
Our children all have their own cows, poultry and waterfowl breeds so they get to enjoy showing as much as we do and learn the importantce of showmanship and that winning isn't everything, which is all a part of life; this is an important part of the workability of a family hobby. Wouldn't be much fun if it wasn't fun!
We do not show with the prospect of winning. We show because we enjoy the past time. If we cover our costs we are lucky, if we don't bad luck and if we come out in front it's a bonus.
We hope you enjoy the site as much as we have enjoyed putting it together and if you would like anything added please email us.
