Crazy weather, one day it's hot and windy and there's smoke from the fires on the west coast. Next day it's frigid and there's snow on the nearest mountain and the wind is clear and cold off Antarctica. I think Tasmania has menopause... jumper off, jumper on, jumper off, jumper on.
So today Beanie and her calf Selkie and Annie's 14 month old steer Abe went to Jason's. That leaves me with nine cattle and six sheep. I'll miss Beanie, the big lug. She's very food motivated and pushy but she's fun to have around. Jason fed her a treat and was scratching her tail, she'll be looked after there.
I've got the piggery ready to karcher out, shoveled all the poop out and picked up the rubbish. I suspect Leigh was intending to bring his pressure washer down after taking his pigs but got sidetracked and forgot. We all think he's ended up with a brain injury from being knocked out twice in six weeks (working cattle in his yards) so I didn't bother trying to convince him it hasn't been cleaned. Once it's all cleaned Edwin will take off all the rusted fencing and weld on new mesh.
Here's some photos of the mulberry tree, if anyone has any ideas about possible deficiencies or overs I'll try some amendments. I have the clover in there as a natural mulch, water level indicator and nitrogen generator.
