Pain free
We are selling some commercial cows and marked their bull calves. Pain relief is mandatory for Greenham's Never Ever program, which we are accredited with, so the vet came out and gave them the gold standard - a light anaesthetic and sedation with Metcam for long-acting pain relief after the procedure. It made the job safe, clean and quick, and the calves were not stressed at all. After a long lie down in the shade they were back up with their mums.

Dookie Beefo's
A few local breeders have got together to form Dookie Progressive Breeders with the plan of meeting 3-4 times a year for a meal and guest speaker - all breeds and farming styles are welcome. On Wednesday night, they got together for a night at Dookie Pub they heard from Greenhams about Greenham Connect and their range of programs, including Never Ever and Greenhams Beef Sustainability Standard. It was a lovely night - everyone enjoyed themselves and Greenhams appreciated the opportunity to explain some of the great work they do.

Happy Union
Mount Major Union has settled in well at his new home with new clients Tony & Sue Kent, although we suspect he wasn’t quite ready for the attention he’s been getting from our older girls!

Trip to south-west Victoria and Greenhills Murray Greys
Davo and I took advatange of the kids being home and between summer jobs to get away for a few days for a little tour of south-west Victoria, including a stop at Greenhills Murray Greys. Many thanks to Chris and Sarah for their hospitality and for showing us their lovely herd of cows. Such an even line up of animals. We were pleased to see how Mount Major bulls are performing in their herd and enjoyed a really good catch up. It turned out to be a good time to visit with many prime stock on hand about to hit the market over the next couple of months. Three yearling bulls from Mount Major after their first joining at GreenHills Murray Greys are pictured below (left to right: Upbeat, Unit & Uranium)
