David Blaxland's many years of medical training are no match for mother nature and the enduring drought that is plaguing the south-west.
Transcript
00:00I'm selling nearly all the cattle today and it's because I haven't got enough hay to feed them and it's very hard to get.
00:08I've been buying what hay I can and it's getting a very short supply.
00:14Has it been a top decision to make?
00:16It is because I like the cattle and I walk them around the farm, they follow me around, they fly and I've been selecting them for years now.
00:30So I get quiet ones with good confirmation and rapid growth of weaning. It is a great picking.
