Re: The Dalgety Project
Dear Roger, The land must certainly have improved since the last time Barbara and I last saw it. If it can keep 300 head of cattle on survival rations for even a month the work has been worthwhile. Go well.

So the rural lands protection board is opening the Dalgety Travelling Stock Reserve where our project is. There's 300 + cattle going in there Wednesday for at least a month. Hope they like the water! Might even eat the lovegrass!! I'm scheduled to go there tomorrow anyway so I'll do a full photo scan while I'm there.. roger

I'm altering the methodology of the project to take the cattle into account, it will be a good opportunity to get some fresh manure broken down - provided it rains in March/April as forecast. It's an ill wind . . . roger
