Letters From a Land of Grass - Ranching Down Under (9-5-2025)

As much as I felt upside down while I was in Australia, it was comfortable. People were friendly and ranching was so similar. 

 

This Brahman steer allowed me to get closer than most of the cattle there. He was grazing in a nice pasture. The other cattle were in the brush where it was easy for them to dodge among trees, huge termite mounds and bushes.
