Hello to the Good Life

Just want to say a quick hello to all out there.

Love this site and all the like minded people supporting each other.

We are new to farming, having eventually bought our little piece of heaven (40 acres) and cant wait to get it all up and running. Its a bush block, so we are beginning with a blank slate. The hope is to have a small viable enterprise running redline cattle. Plus of course the mandatory chickens and dogs, plus maybe even a few pigs for the pot.

At this stage we have cleared the house site and are building a shouse (shed house). We have also just completed a large dam and are now waiting for the rains ....

Looking forward to getting advise as we progress and grow.

Cheers MJ

Hi MJ,

welcome. Great to finally get out of the rat race isn't it? Everyone on the site will only be too happy to help you as you go along.

I am also waiting for the rain here in SE Qld. Only have water in two of my dams at present as all the waterholes and even the spring are dry. Can hardly wait to see them all full again and the pasttures green and growing.

cheers,

Barb

Hi MJ,

Welcome on-board, I'm pleased that you like the website. Good on you for taking the plunge to get your own piece of dirt, there of lots of people who only dream about and are never able to release that dream.

Where abouts are you located? Before you purchase any Redline genetics I suggest that you visit http://lowline.com.au/ this business is owned and run by Margo Hayes who has one of the leading lowline studs in the country. Margo is also the successful author of http://farmstyle.com.au/book/small-cattle-small-farms which is an excellent read for anyone starting out in cattle farming.

Look forward to hearing from you as you progres on your farming journey.

Regards,
Charlie

PS Raining steadily here today, it's about time.
