Besides our work at the roadhouse we started after two weeks also a second work as a station cook on the Meteor Downs Station. What does that mean? One day Eva and one day Jo was driving to a big property that was 40kms away from Springsure to prepare the dinner for the family and their employees. We started there at around 2pm and finished at 7.30pm. We had to cook basic food with a lot of meat! Everyday meat!!! And this means 80% beef from their own beasts. A special breed named Wagyu.
The last week we were working there fulltime. Eva as Nanny and cookie cook and Jo as lawn keeper and a little bit as Jackaroo (working with the cows and steers)
The workshop shed.
The fathers and...
...and some of their daughters and sons. On the property were 10.000 beasts on 40.000ha.
Not only good for humans: An oats field for the Wagyus.

It was a great time on the property! We will never forget this time!!!! Thank you again for everything!
Sam another Jackaroo was training a wild horse.
Isn´t such a job the dream of every little boy?! And such a guy the dream of some girls?
... and the mothers? I would like to know, how breeding does function in those super-sized herds!
ReplyDeleteMore than 55 % CO2-emission result on livestock holding. Better or worse than coal-mining?
Whatever - the guy is like the marlborough advertisements - a little romantic dream!
