Today, we visited with Lawson Angus and Yima Park herefords. First, we met with Harry Lawson. He was very educated! He ru s a close partnership with Gardiner Angus Ranch in Kansas. His philosophies about business and cattle were spot on, for the most part, with my ideas and theories. He runs calves in both Western Australia and in northern Victoria. The bulls for the sale are developed on the ranch we saw in Victoria, while his mama cows calve out in Western Australia. We finished the trip by going to Mendala Winery for a hot beverage and biscuit. We found that their 'biscuits' are very similar to a dry combination of a cookie and a piece of cake.
Next, we went to Yima Park to meet with Hemish McMilan about his Hereford herd and his lamb herd. He and one other guy run 500 Herefords and 3000 ewes. His views were very odd!!! From there, we went into Albury for the one night stay. We ate at the Soden's Hotel' and it was very nice to have a steak!!! A few of us stayed out last night and drank a few at the hotel, before heading to the Bended Elbow! Today is a busy day so I better get started!!
Much love,
