Bore day - Friday, 8 May 2020

Lots happening today. They will be drilling the bore and we are anxious to know how far down they need to drill as it is charged per metre. Our steers and heifers will be auctioned on line around lunchtime and we will be hoping for good prices.

After ordering a fuel delivery and doing some everyday tasks (setting the stove and fire and doing some housework) we headed into Benalla. We mowed and clipped the in-town garden and then John went for a haircut - needs to look good for those nurses!

Back to the farm to check on the drilling which was underway. No news yet. Home for lunch and to check on the sale and great news - all sold for more than we expected (lots 701 and 702 in the pic.). John then went off in the tractor and brought back fallen tree logs for cutting and splitting - we have had a couple of offers to help if needed and the wood being handy will be helpful.

Later in the afternoon we checked again on the drilling and the lads told us they had a difficult start - they left around 5.30pm and will be back Monday morning.Read more
