Happy Birthday Mum! We got to Kroombit cattle station yesterday after a mammoth seven hour drive on the most uncomfortable coach imaginable. We were instantly thrown into the action. We were put into teams of three and were given the task of 'cold' branding a goat. This didnt hurt the goat at all but we went through the same procedure that they would when 'hot' branding a goat! After chasing the fiesty and fully horned goat around for about a minute, we eventually cornered it and i managed to get the branding done! We were then thrown into a pen completely filled with goats and told to catch and milk one. This was a timed event, the clock stopped when we drank a cup of the goats milk. After a few dud attempts, i eventually managed to find a milkable goat and was able to give laurie the pleasure of drinking the milk!
In the evening, we were taught how to crack a bull whip. That was pretty cool, especially as i managed to do it and not everyone could! After cracking the whip we got onto a mechanical bull and had a little tournament. I came third as i managed to stay on for 11 bucks, laurie came second with 13 bucks and the winner got 15. I can honestly say, it was one of the most painful experiences i have ever had to bare!
Must go now, ill update again soon. I will try to add some pictures but the computer i am on is very slow. Speak to you all soon, much love, Mat x
