Its been as windy as this week which has sliced all our Banana Tree leaves to shreds and even though it makes no difference to the plants it just makes them look a bit battered.  We named our little bull calf Ajax and next week I hope to start halter training him.  I have been collecting plenty of cow and horse manure over the last few weeks and have been filling up our Hugelkultur Bed getting it ready for spring planting. I have also used plenty of manure and sugar cane mulch in my orchard garden as the soil is looking a bit sad in there at the moment.  The Galloway Field Day was on the weekend at a property at Mt Tamborine and we had a great time meeting new people and learning more about the cattle.  Trevor also put gates on the shed so we can store the hay or accommodate the cattle when needed.  Still no rain but hopefully next week will be kind to us and bring the rain clouds.
