00:00We've got 872 heifers at the moment, 17 bulls, belong to Phillip Henwood from Cowthill.
00:06There's not enough feed for my home so we're just walking them around getting my feed because
00:11they've got no calves. These cattle have been out since June and I'll have them until May.
00:16I ride around on really nice horses, if they're not nice horses it's my own bloody fault for
00:22putting up with a second rate one, so I've got good horses, good dogs. Ride around after cattle
00:27with my girlfriend and just live the dream.
00:31And you feel sorry for anyone that isn't you?
00:33100 percent.
00:35Got solar panels up here that run the fridge. If I go away for a week and come back the fridge
00:42is still working. I've got a backup generator, I use the generator for cooking because you're
00:48not going to light a fire in a season like this and expect to get away with it.
00:57Come around here.
01:04Sleep up there, fan when it's hot and also to keep the scooters off. Fridge, freezer,
01:11fry pit. These little things are really good. Only cost $100, takes up no room
01:16and it's a real good little cooking element.
01:19Electric jug, pantry, when I shift I pack all this stuff up, I shut that gate and I put seven horses
01:28back there. Come back to the bathroom, I've got a bucket, electric pump and a motor.
01:40Just shower here, job's done.
