Oops, must be bundy night on the Gold Coast :)

Given that hardly anyone, except a few mostly hardcore
veggies read the animal welfare posts or comment,
I dont' really think that your posts make much
difference.

At least, after that little secret was divulged, we
now know all about the closet veggie lol.

Given my interest in neuroscience, you are actually
an interesting case study for me, in terms of
emotional engulfment, so I shall keep studying :)

Yabbs
Yup just you pale and the odd readers.[ funny as] You might be surprised who `does read it.We have had some interesting calls from people not disclosing their positions. That reminds me- [ How are you going Brion] Lovely site. See Yabbs that just goes the prove you can teach old dogs new tricks. So theres still hope for you yet. Here we are all here together. On OLO. You got your veggies your pollies. Then you got real live exorters like Elders. Isnt that nice. We try to acknowledge the sponsers Elders as often as possible. Until the new stickers are printed. Think I might have found my nitch in life Yabbs- Avdertising. What do you think about the new age face look for bumber bars ? You know put a face to a trade.Picture this bill boards with faces to trades.
Actually getting back to your pet subject you might also be surprised just who is requesting funding through MLA to sell chilled meat to the ME.
Of course why didnt I think of that.
I am sure MLA wont `have any trouble at all ` explaining that grant to the members. he he he.

Yup clear as mud.

I enjoy the system Yabby. Find it no end of amusement.
Nobody needs much money to help the farmers. Just a bit of good will. Its not hard to put a few people in direct contact.



I am just wondering Yabby what more you want.

The other thing I might mention to you is we have a great deal of time for several in the Industry.

I personally have a great deal of respect for Kevin and Hugh and they have always been helpful and polite in the past.

Mind you livecourpe wouldnt tell us who did the shampoo and blow dry on those Cormo sheep. Reckon we could have marketed that shampoo and done `real well`. Great pictures all those fluffy white sheep. Perhaps Landmark could market ~that ~shampoo~ through schools.

"That reminds me- [ How are you going Brion] Lovely site. See Yabbs that just goes the prove you can teach old dogs new tricks."

What exactly does this prove? Do you really expect to be taken seriously with such proofless comment. I'm sure Brion would enjoy being called an old dog.

Could we stick to verifiable facts please. Anything else, along with personal attacks, is pointless and counter-productive.

"Mind you livecourpe wouldnt tell us who did the shampoo and blow dry on those Cormo sheep. Reckon we could have marketed that shampoo and done `real well`. Great pictures all those fluffy white sheep."

I didn't realise the live exporters went to that level of care. No wonder live exports are supported by the Australian Vets Association, the Australian govts and farmers.

ditto!

LOL Wendy, so you believe that you have all these readers out
there.

I do actually know of one person who sometimes reads your
threads, they think Graham should reclassify your many
threads under "Comedy and light entertainment". :)

Rojo

I am sure Brion has been called worse when you look at this.

Anyway Rojo I wasnt refering to Brion but Yabbs regarding teaching old dogs new tricks.

Brion sounded like a bloke just trying to a job to me and I reckon he has a sense of humour too.
The way I see it is if the Free Range Farm package is viable Elders should probably look at it. If they dont others will. Simple.
They are people who are involved in the Ag Biz and Real Estate so they would be crazy not to.

I just hope they dont make the mistake of thinking this programe can be linked with feeds lots or intensive farms for their sake that all.
We are driving our market on the advantages of Free Range and Creek Fed opposed to intensive so that would be a disaster for them.

I mean look it only makes sense surley doesnt it. The animal welfare groups are just getting started. Not only in Australia but world wide.
The Government have to do something about all the Sea tree change familes or the whole nation will be on center link.

Elders united with a few of the others they work shoulder to shoulder with would be crazy not to combine farming with their real estate. The Government would be just as crazy not to look at putting familes who want to migrate here into some of those farms.

Yes water is a problem and there are a few people from ME alone with some of our own clever country people that ought to be working together.
Elders and us should be working together on this. Who knows what will happen later down the track Rojo.
It might be Elders and us or somebody else.
I honestly dont really care right at this moment too busy putting it all together.

Whatever Rojo. Eventually we will be buying up land and setting up Free Range ag schools and marketing farms with ongoing assistance.

With or without The Government or Elders Real Estate and Ag.
