Put holes in myself and my new waterproofs today taking a shortcut across some barbed wire :rolleyes:

Bit of fencing, nothing to strain the wire to so had to set up another stake. The uphill section will be fun.....

On paper not great, he only has one star -0.17% but reliability is low at only 38% but as you can see he is halter trained and he is actually one of the quietest bulls we have bred.

He will stand up in the pin and we can go in and rub him or brush him and he will just stand there, what I find with them is that if they are halter trained at a young age it makes a huge difference

Hill worked out easier than I thought. Another hour or two here or there should see the place stock proof again.

No, not for a long time. My Dad remembers the last grouse chicks around, they got picked off one by one by greycrows!

There were signs in the last two years locally about a grouse project but I don't know if anything came of it or not.
