Lets talk about WATER and FARMING

The Australian climate plays a role in the type of farming that can be successfully achieved.
For Beef farmers it is important to choose the breed of cattle that is best adapted to the climate.
Northern Australian Farmers
Northern cattle producers account for 75% of farming land in Australia dedicated to beef.
Cattle in the northern region typically forage for feed over sprawling properties.
Beef from these cattle is of lower quality compared to southern beef.
Southern Cattle Farmers
Farms in southern areas are generally more intensive then their northern counterparts. Farmers in this area generally run European and British breeds which are kept for their ability to gain weight and produce favourable quality meat.

MODEL FARMS GAZETTE

Tim Eyes Visits Model Farms High School
By year 9 Visual Design reporters

Today, Thursday 10th September 2015, farmer extraordinaire Tim Eyes came for a visit at our school.
Tim presented us with an outstanding insight into his life as a farmer in the beef industry and the work he does in the central coast. He talked about cows, he discussed life on the land and how his passion for farming from a young age has got him to where he is today.

We then showed him our farm and was most fortunate to be one of the first to meet our calf who was only born last night.

We guided him through the various tasks from our hydroponics, gardens and cattle, sheep alpacas, chicken and rabbits. He seemed most impressed stating he had to go to boarding school in Bathurst while at school to get the same experience that we take for granted.

Thanks Tim. 
It was a pleasure to meet Tim. 
His enthusiasm and excitement for his profession definitely had an impact on the students here.

Tim also go to meet our Moona Lisa.

Look at our new baby

Isn't it appropriate that the year we are looking at beef cattle, and the night before our farmer visit, we have a new baby.
Too cute!!!!!!!
