2009 ..... Annus Horribilis

What a year it has been!! Without question for me it has been the most full on and taxing year I have experienced. It kicked off with me returning to run my lamb business which was in a pretty bad place financially we turned it around and grew the business making it to over 50 markets a month and pulling in a Swag of Medals and Awards and having customers that just lined up in their droves to get their hands on my delicious meat.

After putting in tremendous hours in both the meat business and the farm, something had to give, so I called it quits on the markets and concentrating on my dwindling breeder number as once again the drought was back with a vengeance.

With all hard times comes an even harder time on the old farmer morale and mine was shot, so I have headed up to Aurkun an Aboriginal Community on Cape York Peninsula on the opposite side of Queensland. Why have I headed here..well two reasons I need to get well away from the dry and I live by the philosophy that if you need something give it. ...and boy did I need a hand.

Till next time....

Hooroo
