Some Ulysses mates of ours live at Buffalo in SE Gippsland. Ross and Anne are semi retired dairy farmers (if dairy farmers can ever retire). We arrived in time for dinner, Trevor and Ria (also Ulysses mates) came by and we had a great time catching up. Ross has enough projects to keep him busy for the next 20 years I reckon. They live in some great country.
We also learned a lot about the differences between Silage and Hayage, how it's cut, wrapped and consumed, the price of trout, stock rotation, chinese camper copies, out paddocks, how to tackle burglars and poachers, and protect Nissan patrol paintwork.
Seriously they are a great bunch of mates and by the time we'd left, we'd almost considered becoming farmers. The knowledge these guys have is something you won't ever find in books.
