Mustering time - Cattle are yarded to enable non-station and unbranded beasts to be separated.
Kept close together, they are easily identified by either brand or ear tag.
A number of yards are separated by gates to allow movement of beasts from one area to another.
Dangerous work and four hands work the gates as a team to sort the mob.
Simple plastic conduit pipe is used to guide beasts in the right direction.
These ladies could charge if upset and they can pack a punch.
Birthing is common - this mother gave birth during the night and is very protective of her calf.
The calf sleeps peacefully in the yard with the mother.
