Pale - I have asked you this many times now and you never have an answer. Explain what you mean by creek fed?

paleif, my advice, for what it's worth, is to focus on a couple of objectives and do them well. Get some abbatoirs up and running and encourage free range production. Don't get bogged down in real estate dreams and agschools until your business model is proven.
Too much dreaming not enough doing.

Howdy all. Rojo the shampoo joke was actually rather enjoyed by Live Courpe themselves at the time. No they dont normally provide 'that level of care' which of course was the joke. We were working with Free Lance journo at the time and he reported to us they blocked off the whole area with sercurity for three miles around ````````and you could still smell it. This resulted in us asking livecourpe for the name of the shampoo they did the sheep with for `those` pictures. You know A picture tells a thousand words. I dont think anybody else even noticed it. They actually got away with it. Might pay others to check out the veg next time.
So if they laughed I guess you can sit there with a glum face if you like.

Yabby. Actually I already asked Graham about that but I will ask again. Good idea. I dont mind the thought of posting with some people with a sense of humour. Be a nice change.

PF I have answered that question before but shall again.
Its free Range with hard feed included. The term has been around a hundred years and was I guess started by the real old timers.
Mobs would move back to high land before floods and they would take feed down and toss it. Soon it became a way of rounding stock and making it easy to handle them.
A few of the butchers up here are working towards forming a co op and are adopting the creek fed style.
Easy- padocks tractor feed- once or twice a day- depending on what type of natural feed already in padocks.
So instead of having the poor sods standing in each others urine you leave them Free Range and drive around dumping feed once or twice a day.

As stock usually drink twice a day around the same time they tend to be around the water or creek beds. Hense where the term came from.

Enjoy the rest of your evening guys.

No, I'm having a good time, even if you don't get my sense of humour.

Well I am certainly happy to hear that. Hate to think all our efforts gave no pleasure to`````` anybody.


Yabbs. I can assure you the people that we wanted to read them are.
We are happy and have had contact with some who would not have contacted us otherwise.
It works for me and it works for you too.
How else would you spend your days if you didnt have us to pick on Yabbs?
You would miss us all if we stopped posting so go on and addmitt it.

Dont know that your too popular with that other lot you claim to be onside with but we love you anyway.

Off you go now and read up on some more of that stuff you keep posting from those with vetted instersts. I said Vet- edited- Interests
Got a real knack for this I reckon Yabbs.
How do you like the new bumper stickers idea?.
They just keep coming Yabbs and we must thank you for helping to enspire them.

Yup you sure have found a good cause Yabbs and Hey- Theres safety.
in numbers

We will watch out for you Yabbs.

Actually we are doing something down your way right now.

As usual nice to hear from you.
in case you ever get any ideas around your way for plants dont be shy Yabbs.
Give us half a dozen farmers to talk to off shore purchasers of meat and you got your plant.
We wont even need to attend.
You can do it without us.

Off you go now Yabbs and see who you think might listen to you.

If you like I will send you a few people who are interested and you can contact them yourself.
Cant be more fair than that can I?
