The hotel we stayed in last night looked a bit sketch when we pulled up. The rooms were surprisingly nice on the inside however and the bed was even equipped with a heated blanket! (I never imagined I would be so happy about a heated blanket in later May) Started off the morning by visiting Lawson Angus. It was a bit chilly looking at the bulls as there was a heavy mist in the air and the sun was still in hiding. Lawson Angus has worked in partnership with Gardiner Angus Ranch in Kansas which I found very neat.
Lunch was enjoyed in Bonnie Doon, at a very cozy restaurant that was equipped with a fire place that we greatly enjoyed. Walking out of the restaurant we had pleasant surprise, the sun was shining :)
Our afternoon was filled with a visit to Lima Park. We learned about his commercial Hereford herd and crossbred lambs. It was very interesting to learn about the sheep as we aren't as familiar with them. He said the greatest predator of his lambs were crows and foxes. I found this very intriguing. The crows attack the lambs and eat on their eyes, noses, and rectum then the fox cleans them off. Those dirty rotten birds!
We continued our journey northward, crossed the Murray River, and are now in New South Wales in the town of Albury.
