Post-Calving: My Dirty Job

All Things Cattle

Mike Rowe may have his own show where he gets to do a different Dirty Job every week, but do not worry, here on the ranch I can run into some rough stuff as well. This job though was definitely not the most pleasant. So be ready. I have pulled out the books for this … Continue reading Post-Calving: My Dirty Job

Cattle all fluffed up for shows are pretty much the best things ever.

One of my favorite types of sessions are seniors on the farm. Colbey wanted photos with all his favorite things: showing pigs, the fishing pond, his cattle herd, farming, and his dog, Abby. We made it happen. This young man works hard on the farm and excels in the show ring. It was a privilege to ta

Aussie Canis dingo DAY - Our Dingoes are so cool...Another post for any graziers... Let’s face it: Australia doesn’t have the best international reputation for good ecological management. We’ve been particularly loathsome in our protection of forests, we have an appalling record of mammal extinctions, we’re degenerate water wasters and carbon emitters, our country is overrun with feral animals and weeds, and we have a long-term love affair with archaic, deadly, cruel, counter-productive and xenophobic predator management. To top it all off, we have a government hell-bent on screwing our already screwed environment even more. Still, we soldier on and try to fix the damages already done or convince people that archaic policies should be scrapped and redrawn. One such policy that I’ve written about before is the idiocy and cruelty of the dingo fence. The ecological evidence that dingoes are good for Australian wildlife and that they pose less threat to livestock than purported by some evidence-less graziers is becoming too big to ignore any longer. Poisoning and fencing are not only counter-productive, they are cruel, ineffective and costly. So just when ecologists thought that dingoes couldn’t get any cooler, out comes the latest paper demonstrating that letting dingoes do their thing results in a net profit for cattle graziers. Come again? That’s right. Having more dingoes around your arid-country cattle station will actually end up giving you a higher profit margin, provided you don’t overstock (which you shouldn’t in the first place). How can this surprising phenomenon eventuate? With even the slightest bit of basic ecological understanding – something sadly lacking from most of our politicians – it turns out to be rather intuitive. How does it work? Let’s examine the basics. Dingoes are predators, a fact on which we can all agree. They eat many different things and occasionally take out young livestock (lambs and calves). They also eat a lot of kangaroos, and in fact, seem to prefer them. In a typical cattle station setting in arid Australia, two herbivore groups (cattle & macropods) compete for the most limiting resource – grass. Thus, it stands to reason (and ecological scrutiny) that when there are fewer kangaroos around, there is more grass for cattle to eat. More food means bigger and fatter cattle, which means more profit for the grazier. Enter the dingo. Dingoes are predators that can reduce kangaroo densities in arid Australia rather efficiently. Yes, they do occasionally take out the odd calf, which counts as an economic loss to the farmer. But when you do the maths, they demonstrate clearly that the better-quality and higher biomass of grass left over after dingoes have done what they do best, results in a higher net profit to the farmer. How cool are dingoes? In fact, if worked out that under normal stocking conditions in outback Australia, cattle graziers can make up to $0.83/hectare more when their dingo populations are healthy. That might not sound like a lot, but considering the average area of an Australian cattle station (50,000 to several 100,000 hectares), that works out to at least $50,000 to $150,000 more earned per year. Nothing to scoff at. Not only are the farmer’s profits higher, but there is less inter-annual variation in them given that having fewer kangaroos around reduces the amount of change in grass biomass from one year to the next. Such clever, dingo-friendly farmers would of course be able to brag that their native wildlife populations would be much healthier and happier with their protector dingos around. It’s a win-win situation, and something we hope the cleverest farmers and policy makers eventually recognise. ~Gary Taylor Photography

The Weekend Getaway Guide to Dallas & Fort Worth

Fortworth

I recently had the chance to experience a long weekend exploring the two cities of Dallas and Forth Worth with Travel Texas to see what they’re all about. There are so many fun things to do in either city, that it was hard to pick what to include in this guide! Major Fort Worth attractions include line dancing at Billy Bob’s and seeing the daily cattle drive at the Stockyards, while Dallas tourist attractions include the Margarita Mile and fun neighborhoods like Deep Ellum. Don’t forget you also have to try some authentic Texas BBQ while in DFW! Whether you’re planning an itinerary for a weekend escapade from Austin like me, or flying in for a business trip from California or NYC, here’s some of the best things to do in Dallas and Forth Worth!
