Jillaroo, Jackaroo, Bull!

Branding time @ Bimbadeen

In between heat waves and drizzling rain, we have managed to complete the 2012 branding here at Bimbadeen. After the floods of 2011, it was nice to have firm ground underfoot to walk our breeders to the yards. This time last year we were bogging horses in this exact spot! The calves are looking fantastic…
