I’ve had an amazing month at Remington, and the final days were no different. The weather finally improved and provided 4 lovely days of sunshine and warmth - the temperature even hit 20 degrees one day - warm enough for a T-shirt!! (must be starting to acclimatise!). Spent my last 4 days clipping – we finished most of the Simmental cows before clipping the angus & straight Canadian bred angus cows (all pure Canadian genetics - ie no US blood,) as well as some red angus. As we clipped, we also processed them - gave them their injections and Ivomec - while the cowboys processed the calves - gave them injections and tattoos. Everyone has been really busy getting ready for the dispersal sale. If the weather holds up, they will hopefully finish the clipping early next week, with the people coming to film and photograph the cattle for the sale arriving next week as well.
I’ve had such a fantastic stay here: I got to take part in all the different operations that were happening; saw some really impressive cattle (their dispersal sale will be an awesome opportunity to purchase some great cattle and genetics - all the embryos are qualified for Australia!); loved spending most of my days on horseback working with the cattle; got to help clip one of the largest numbers of cattle ever for a dispersal in Canada; made great friends & learnt stacks…. I can’t wait to go back and visit. Thank you to everyone at Remington for the fantastic time!!
