Anyone know what the go is, with claiming cattle?, kind of like Salvage rights maybe?
A friend of mine has a large bush block with half a dozen or so cattle on it, they have been there for years, a couple of them were born on the block, none of the cattle are tagged or branded. Do you just go somewhere and buy some tags and clip them on their eyes or what?

Keep the heifers buy a new bull register a tag & send the old ones to the doggers. If any neighbour owned them they would have come looking for em by now you would of thought, tho there's some sly old buggers still around that push cattle onto bush blocks come back latter & claim em, fat cattle no ajistment

Maybe not tag them on the eyes.. Ears maybe?

otherwise check with neighbours first, then I suppose you'll be enjoying roast beef for the next couple of years.

How rogue are you talkin...?

They are red not dangerous.

Rouge vache

If you're smart enough to not go through the mla & not brave enough to quarter the beasts yourself. There are quite a few mobile butchers who offer a complete service. Unless your vego.

Probably red and dangerous, feral cattle ain't easy to muster or yard and are usually tick infested and out of condition. There is an Australian code of practice dealing with feral cattle.
If your mate has some yards you could try to muster or feed them in, pen them up and sort them out but usually easiest to cull them.
Running cattle properly is an occupation or a full time hobby.

Just spray paint them thats what we do when we steal tools at work.

Imagine trying to deal with rogue, rouge cattle

Isuppose they aren't red.
None of the neighbours own them.
Most of the fences were burnt out, some how they survived the fires, we'll these 6 or so did.
The land owner is talking about culling them, as she's scared to go to the land.

What about
calming them down
Instead of culling them down?

Use some tasty hay and sweets instead of bullets?
Mellasses smells nice too me, and mine cattle can not resist temptation.

Black baldy or some sort of beefmaster
The good news is, if they charge, you don't have to outrun them. You just have to outrun the person next to you.

Looks like good tucker.

^that one looks like it doesn't like lycra either

The Rock Cobbler ride is an off-road race that has an elevation gain of about 6,500 feet.

Now, either that's a typo and they meant a "epic descent" of 6,500 feet or them dumb ****kers deserve to be hit by a bull.

Eitherway if I attempted to pedal up 6,500 feet I'm sure it would feel like I'd been hit by a bull somewhere around the 65 foot marker.

That's after I'd stopped for morphine and oxygen at 35 foot.

Elevation gain
means now descent?
Or maybe just anti-gravity just invented?
I always worry somebody else do this before me.

Simple . Newton on his head.
In Cobbler Rock apples grow on the grass, and when they ripe and ready for harvest , they fall and attach themselves to the tree above/below.


400 year old ?
I can not believe how people could send such dummy comments , sometimes.
It is obvious ( according to Einstein General Relativity theory) the time can go both ways. in some places at least. dummy ,
The tree is already 1000 years old and getting younger every day !

In few years will shrink back to the seedling
and somebody will take the pot back to The Bunnings
to get refund
for the money Newton paid 400 year ago.
Simple !

Still not convinced ?
Ask him !

His





His Birthsay party will be soon, just few years away .

All Invited.

( Time Travelers of course )





The next question.
Can you point to the Macro on this picture ??

Yep, you are right,
not there yet,
but my Bath Tube Time Machine filling up with water
fast after recent rain season in QLD.

See you there soon !

In the meantime,
Lets guys take all our ( electric ) bicycles to
COBBLER ROCK
to recharge our batteries
when running down the hill 65,000 feets
( yep, not mistake, cattle feet is smaller and that is what I used here Rural Units instead of Imperial one ) .

Turn your regenerative braking ON , guys.
Full speed now !

Your friend should get the borders of the land surveyed and then fenced. The land should be cleared as best as possible along the boundaries so it's easier to maintain the boundary. This may cost a lot of money but is worth it in the long run. This information is based on the premise your friend wants to get out and use their land.

If your friend has no interest or can't use their land then they need to look at removing these animals. Probably it's best to talk to graziers in the area, get their advice and see if anyone around is willing to spend a day to round up the cattle and get them into the back of a truck and taken away.

You need to be a registered "primary producer" to get a tag. Registered (alike ABN) with NSW DPI.

Will moleskins, blue chambray shirt and a white Akubra do?

Fencing is being organised, I'd like to fence off a decent paddock and muster them into that, Cattle equals Gold on legs I hear.

Cattle are very expensive. There was a report on a cow and calf sold in Tamworth for $5500.

I love that advice about surveyer part. I did ask surveyer about small piece between me and one of neighbours been surveyed, just before we could do some fencing. It cost $12k and only apply to 1/10 of my boundary. So my idea so far is to relay on council aerial topography. Even more intriguing is fact that this part of the boundary between me and neighbour is actually separated by public road, existing only on council plans but not yet build. Maybe council should mark boundary of their road rather? It could save me $12k instantly and clear me if any mistake is made.

Chances are the road will never be constructed, put your fence roughly down the middle of the reserve and not much chance of any problems. If they do construct the road they will survey and re-fence.
I'm guessing the road is 1 chain wide + about 20 meters, with modern aerial photography with overlayed boundaries should be enough to wander on to nieghboring land with your fence.

Haha
our idea is now to build only one fence for a half of the length , on my side,
then one fence on his side.
Road is on plans for last 50-70 years and i could take another 50 or so to start or finish it.
Since the is not really a road but dense bush , public can not access anyway.
But our problem is that our cattle could not read GPS boundaries on their mobile phones map overlay and keep wondering across our lands.

Unless you can visibly discern they are maybe part Angus or some good beef breed "feral cattle" are quite a thought as to been belonging to someone.
Best find if any have a brand or remnant either chemical or physical after rounding them up and get an ok from police and local dpi to take them to market a week after drenching.

"rouge" is the French word for the colour red.
Rogue is slang in this context, rogue is a "seldom seen" character that is an outlaw usually of a corrupt nature in their "duties" in their position society.
