Announcements:

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.

And yes it has been A LONG LONG while since an update, and this one is really only a building update, last 12 months been working flat out on house, new paddock fencing, office job, and family, so not much left to spend updating the web.

We have moved in to the New House on our property Christmas 2007 ..! (now all we have to do is the finishing touches = there are still heaps of these.>!)

Australian Stock Horses:

We have started breeding stock horses. At this stage we have an 8yr old black Mare (Sonnys Gal) who is due to foal in approx. 6 weeks and a 4yr old bay Filly (Roc Chic) who is just confirmed 14 days in foal to Cadabra.

Dexters:

We have a number of young weaned Graded dexters born 2007 and 2008 year and they are now ready for sale. Send me an email with the grade and colour of animal you are wanting. I can then email you photos and you can come and look.

We now have 3 polled (hornless) Grade 1 lines, Black, Dark Red, and Dark Dun, all originating from quality Angus cows and Murray Greys. Stay tuned for more calves from these bloodlines.

More AI Calves of quality bloodlines due in a month or so, Pure Breed and Graded Crosses with Red Dexter Bulls from Ireland.. 

Kalahari Reds:

2008 Small number on the ground, not many this year as we have reduced our numbers, but if you want REAL Kalahari bloodlines (with all the quality traits they bring) and not just red goats please get in touch. These bloodlines are well worth the money.

2007 drop all going well, ALL females sold, some Wethers ready for sale for eating.

2006 July drop has been 50% does and 50% bucks (not so bad).  More kids to come from the 2005 does below.

Some of the "big" girls returning from a day out on the new ranges.....

2005 autumn drop 80% doelings. In contrast for 2004 drop 95% Buck Kids. = must be something different in the water this year.!
