All cattle here,I haven't seen one sheep in this or the neighboring valley mate,there are none here and they wouldn't last long unless a seven hot wire fence was used and if a tree drops over the fence the dogs would find it and have killed/maim a 100 overnight.

The Tallangatta Valley is a sheep valley and they have all sorts of strife there,it is further north of me but'only over the hill' as the dog trots.Its almost impossible to fence out dogs in bush runs.
I will maintain my trapline and do a few sit offs on the fresh cow carcase. She is a k (1000+ yards) from the back of the house and the yellow dogs shine like gold in the morning sun against the dirt/scrub background and I can see them easily enough in the binos.
I need a katabatic breeze though and the prob is that its anabatic in the morns when the dogs turn up around 8.30- 9.30 and as such a waste of time..the right wind only as usual will work.
