Nope all hay when there is no grass in the paddock.
Every year two paddocks get shut down to harvest hay. And I am an ex city girl who lives and watches a farm in action. Not perfect but this is what I see.

My mums cattle are grass fed and fed out in winter from hay she harvested off her farm in spring/summer.

I am a meat eater and most of my meals involve 0.5 kg of beef to feed two people with left overs for lunch the next day. So tell me what don't I get. And my mum if a beef farmer

I love Carney for having the courage to call it.

They think the Holocaust has given them a get out of jail free card. It doesn't - it should make them the greatest protectors of oppressed minorities that the world has ever known. I stand with Anne Frank.

They are only Muslims getting killed seems to be the mindset. They are innocents and they are killing aid workers because apparently everyone is Hamas. This will be Israel's Holocaust and they will have to live with the consequences of their actions.

I think antisemitism is being weaponised for other purposes. I think there are bad faith actors in this. And I abhor this because it diminishes the holocaust and the horrors that were committed by the Nazis

I will vote in person as I have always done. Out on a plane the next day to Poland so probably won't see the results.

I have spent several hours today getting my healthcare sorted out before I go on a holiday. Covid done, flue done, shingles can wait but my hepatitis vaccine status needs to be checked. Glad I grew up in the 60s when we got why vaccines are so important. It cost me $130 and I will get $80 back.

Even from the far shores of Australia I am so pleased to hear this result.

Even from Australia I will be watching this. I am just hoping that these elections are Trump rebuttals and if so there is hope.

Thank you for your beautiful photos. I live just across the ditch but have never been. I was going in 2020 but this thing called Covid happened.

So much for the assurances given to that Republican Doctor who voted yes. Guess you can flush that down the toilet with the rest of American democracy. If the President so desires.

We will take your best and brightest in Australia. Isn't it truly tragic that the country that once provided a home for Albert Einstein now faces the exodus of it's own intelligentsia.

This is the shitty thing about history - it is usually in the short term written by the victor. Over time things adjust which is why so many of us visit Hiroshima and wonder about man's inhumanity. I am visiting Auschwitz in May and I still hate Netanyahu for what he is doing to Palestine.

I have never thought I would be interested in watching the outcomes of a Canadian election but this Australian will be watching this year.

Fascinating to learn this. Is it the entertainment industry in California or is there more to it? Seriously interested to learn.

News is thin in Australia but understandable that news might be light out of Myanmar.

Australia has got its own elections coming up and I am rusted on to one party but I think the electorate is going to have to choose between a rock and a hard place. I think America voted for razzle dazzle over same old same. I would have preferred same old same.

On so many levels the grabbing of a young woman off the streets by masked men is so wrong. America is in contempt of human rights and free speech. I say give the Statue of Liberty back.

This is so sad for the country of America to be losing its best and brightest because their intellectuals do not feel safe in their own country. We all know why Einstein left Germany.
