Carl did cattle work at Johnson's Yards today, so the kids and I went for a look. It was way too dusty to stay and I struggled holding on to Will, all he wanted to do was chase the cattle with his stick.

The kids and I got to do another muster today. Only had a poddy this time to bring home. I struggle everyday at home to get Harry to have a day sleep and here we are in a Toyota going along a bumpy track and he sleeps all the way home even with Will jumping all over him. Ended up having another incident that is in the running for the 'dickheads' award. Reversed into the biggest tree in the paddock whilst trying to get through a gate way. Chris and Harry witnessed it so I couldn't even pretend it didn't happen even with a huge ding in the tail gate.

While Carl and the men were getting in the rest of the cattle from the holding paddock he was cleaned up twice by a cow. They had a lot of trouble getting them in. Now Carl's motorbike has bent handle bars and broken clutch lever.
We're ruff on the gear!

Worked doing smoko and calf carrying. We went through the same gate where I hit the tree the other day and Harry was quick to remind me, much to the amusement of Chris. Told the boys they had to earn some money if they wanted to buy a movie or new book. After that there was no more complaining. They are both becoming pretty good drivers!
