We had another buyer come to select some cattle, these were older cows & pregnant. They are going fairly local to the Katherine area. The farmer will make his money back if half the cows calf. We sold 120.
Two trailers. Each trailer has 2 decks. Each trailer carries 40 cattle.
The Billowing of dust - signifies Road train.
A road train (3 trailers) cannot get up our ranges & into our yards. The single truck at the front is ours, our driver meets the road train and brings in a single trailer. When departing the same in reverse to the end of the drive way.
The rush is on.
