Day 4: Lawson Angus & Lima Park

We started this morning of with breakfast at McDonalds so we were able to use there wifi. Since wifi in Australia is very limited and hotels charge a fortune for it. After breakfast it was on to Lawson Angus to learn more about cattle in Australia. We spent a lot of time looking at a mob of bulls in the rain learning the history of their operation. Lawson Angus is the largest seedstock operation in Australia selling over 800 bulls annually. They have farms in Victoria but also run many head in western Australia. We were also informed that they were effected by the same fire that hit the Webb black Simmental farm from yesterday's tour.Once the tour concluded the took us down to a place called Mandala where they served us biscuits and hot chocolate. Mandala was also a winery that offered wine tastings. The unique thing about their products was that each box was differentiated by an ear tag.Our last stop was to Lima Park which is a 300 head hereford commercial cow operation. This operation is accredited by the European union which is where they export the majority of there cattle. They also raise a lot sheep which right now is by far there most profitable operation.We drove to Albury where we would stop for the night. Here we ate at Sodens which is where we had the best food by far. We had a porterhouse with chips and salad. Australians prefer grass fed beef, which is not as good as what were produce in America.
