Had 2 great days in the yards, a bit of drafting. De-horning, de sexing, branding amongst other things. 
Erin drove the old truck and we took three separate lots of cattle to three different paddocks.
Next we got the horses out, mounted up and walked about 30 Wagyu/shorthorn cross to another paddock. Lots of gates, lots of fun, trotting, cantering and all under control. A fantastic day.
