chooky & ck yep flat out that's because people change there mind about things I do a lot of the local butchery around this place sheep pigs cattle chickens, turkeys and ducks I sometimes wonder what they did before I cam to live in the community I quite often get a call from the next town to go and dispose of ten or twenty Roosters and hens for the pot half the time there not even locked up and you have to round them up first that's a bugger chasing them all over the back yards it must look funny seeing a guy chasing chooks over dividing fences and under bushes good luck with yours the weather looks like its changing now should make it a bit better ck Trev

I am only expecting an average year up here the dry June and early July caused it to get stressed too much to get high yields . Just finished baling the hay tonight not looking forward to carting it 41 round bales and about 1000 small bales
