The one day event will involve a slow paced trail ride of about 20 kilometres, a dinner and auction with ALL proceeds donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

Most of us go through life planning ahead. It might be to build a new set of stockyards or re-fence the boundary next winter, construct a new dam, fix the truck … you get the picture.
My point is that everyone has a plan no matter how rudimentary it may be.
If you already have a written business plan then you can probably skip this article unless yours is collecting dust in your office—in which case you may need a prod to revisit it.

This morning a friend let me know that applications are closing on the 31st of July for the Australian Rural Leadership Program.
Clancy participated in course 13 in 2006/07 and she describes the experience as “fantastic”. A number of people I know from my business networks have completed this course and rate it very highly as well.
If you are interested in finding out more about the program visit the website.
Remember, Rural Connections can help you with the application process. Contact us to find out how.

I recently received this media release from the organizers of the Deni Ute Muster. I found it slightly amusing considering the “Ute-Gate” scandal that is playing out between our pollies however I wanted to give a fair-dinkum, Aussie event a plug:
Due to the ‘ute-gate’ scandal Deni Ute Muster organizers are extremely concerned that the great Aussie ute will get all the blame!
Festival Director, John Harvie feels that this is the time for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to get out in to the bush and meet 20,000 plus ute fans at the Deniliquin Ute Muster.

The Angus breed celebrated the arrival in 1824 by revealing a historical marker at Bothwell in the Central Highlands of Tasmania on Thursday morning, prior to the Bothwell Calf Sale.
On January 20 1824, eight black cattle, then known as Fifeshires, stumbled off the Triton onto Hobart town wharf after a perilous voyage from Scotland and then embarked on a 75km walk to “Dennistoun”.

After the Low Stress Stockhandling School held at “Malahide” in April last year I’m continually asked “when is the next one?”
Click here to find out more about Low Stress Stockhandling
The LSS Stockhandling School is relevant to all livestock production industries and the people who work within them. Past participants have varied in age from 4 to 73 with skill levels ranging from very experienced and competent stock people through to total beginners. All you need is a willingness to learn.
I am organising this event through my business, Rural Connections, on a not for profit basis. Why you may ask?!?!? Because I’ve participated in this training the past and believe that everyone should do it – it’s fantastic…it will change your paradigms! (and so we all can think about something else other than drought)
Registrations close at 5pm on Friday the 10th of April.
Please feel free to forward this to your family and friends who may also be interested.
