New job and dodgy internet

Jobs going quite well.  Except its REALLY COLD!  Brr!!!
This past week I have been doing a lot of tractor work, which I wasn't expecting but its not too bad in all honesty.  By tractor work, I mean mostly 'disking', which is where I drag behind a tractor a load of disks that tear through the ground, its slow work and I get thrown around the tractor all the time over the rough terrain, but its ok.  Other times, I am mustering cattle around the farm, feeding them (this is fun), running them through the yards treating them, and lots of other bits.  Feeding them is fun, as normally cattle run for their lives from me.  But if I am towing their feed trailer, they will run as fast as their fat lil bodies will allow them too, in order to try and chase me down to get some food.  You know the image of being on a moving boat and having dolphins jump out of the water next to you, imagine that, but being in a Nissan covered in cow poo being chased by 300 hungry cows.


Still having problems with my internet, it only allowed me to upload this one small photo.  I want to take a video of me doing some of my work for you to see, another vlog, but alas, my internet isn't letting me upload large files.  I'll work on it though, think it is just the lack of reception here.

##(Not for veggies alert)##
Had steak and chips the other day, very fresh steak.  We had a heffer that was baron, so we loaded her on to a trailer and I shot her.  Next day, we had a delivery from the local butcher.  We don't have the skills, tools or time to cut up a whole cow here, so we had to send her to a professional.  It makes you appreciate your food more, when you know what paid the price for it.


I will upload a vlog when I have fixed my internet and done some awesome video action for you all.
