    shikes that a bit rough!!!!! normally with dairy cows I do not put the nets over....young stock,beefies of stuff going to works yes..but not normally dairy stock.
    Ive got mate to stop in middle of road and I whipped up over back of trailer and snotted cow in middle of trailer who was trying to change pens..... with cattle box trailers sides are just too tall,with the 4 deck sheep n cattle crates the height isnt so much the older gear is shorter still....you just have to be a LOT more careful and if possible put 3 in pen upstairs instead of 4 so they dont rub hips etc on sides.....
    all a balancing act.hope your girl is OK....

    Mmmmm .. nice pic Trout. Looks exactly like one of our shooting grounds in the McKenzie. Looks like north Kirkliston range that runs up to the top of the Haka valley.

    Meant to be there this weekend but snowed/rained off - bummer.

    Late arvo at the Club range setting scope up on Zastava 243, shooting at 45m trying to fudge a 200m zero. Loading the car to leave, I spotted these two taking the late sun across the flat on the fence line (I have landownershooting permission). Nailed one at 105m, one at 98.5..both headshots. First one I hit first shot. Second one I missed the first 3 over the top of it as it moved around..shot that got it carved a channel between its ears

    nice eating

    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Due to the exorbitant cost of reloading components, warning shots will not be given.

    243 this one. Just getting to know it. Have not had the 223 out yet. Soon. The 223 has a short pull and I need to address that.
