The horses roam the long paddock with the cattle. They end the day with a playful nip.
The drovers drive the cattle on horseback along the long paddock for up to 9 months a year. The long paddock originated over a century ago when there was little to no water available for the stock. The cattle were then driven out onto the roads and covered hundreds of kilometers grazing the roadside. Not only did this keep the roadside trimmed but the cattle were conditioned. This tradition has continued to this day.
This week I will be covering the crossing of paths of two extremely large herds of cattle as they venture on their way.
OK, you are killing me now, I should have a seperate section in my favorite photographs just for this series, amazing and I think amongst the best work you have done!
