Yup like when the French exported their ‘quiet’ Limmys over here.We obviously exported the cattle with "character" to NZ, like the people with it to Aus.

What looks like cloud in the distance, is actually smoke from a bushfire in Pilliga Forest, about 100km away. It has blocked the Newell Highway ( the main inland route between Melbourne & Brisbane ) between Coonabarabran & Narrabri. A mate of mine is working there firebombing with his aircraft

What IS it with NZ Simmentals? What have you upside downies done to them? We've only ever had 2 mean ones out of around 1000!
The development was mostly done long before subsidiesThe sad thing about life in rural NZ for a holistic farmer is just how much we have desecrated the natural landscape in a little over 150 years of European settlement - much of this "development" work being done in the subsidy years of course - then left to grow gorse and broom because the money and need wasn't there to "keep it developed"
It only took a match to see most of it off - to put it back the way it was would be tens of thousands of dollars per acre - and yet grassland eats money?
Hence why the hippy comes out quite frequently - all a sheep wants is shelter, they aren't as idealistic as people

Maybe it's not the cows it's the Kiwi's. My Fleckvieh was terribly upset when there were Kiwi's around!
She placidly stood eating her food and fed her babies and barely gave us a look except when I yelled at her not to kick
Oh and you should have seen the wreck when I took Kiwi's into an all Fleckvieh dairy! It was a disaster!! The cows all became mad beasts all of a sudden
