Guernsey Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm Manager of a fairly large herd (no bull) and we fly regularly to outback stations with our onboard milk supplies which we donate free of charge with a really big smile. We also supply a lawn cutting service in Adelaide which helps to build up our 'graze anatomy'. We do not fly under the RaaUs banner because of our weight so we are licensed with COWSA. We are hoping to add a bit of bull to our herd later on. Alan. Seriously I am very happily RETIRED. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
