Indicator markets from previous sales at Central Tablelands Livestock Exchange, Forbes and Dubbo have often influenced decisions to market stock.
The new regional saleyards at Yass is almost ready to commence business and that facility will have some effect on the busy yards at Carcoar.
Helping Hayley
FRIDAY, July 8 brings “A Helping Hand For Hayley” to the Bridge Hotel, Perthville.
Proceeds from all meals will be donated to the fund to assist Hayley Porter - who was badly hurt when she fell from her horse during an equestrian event at St Stanislaus’ College in March – and her family.
This is a night to dine at the hotel, bring the kids and enjoy the company of Kingston Town’s champion jockey, Malcolm Johnston.
There will be lots of sports memorabilia, food and wine packs and holidays for auction, so this is the opportunity to get behind Hayley as she improves a little every day.
Phone Trace on 6337 7581 or 0459 454 147.
To the rescue
REPORTS of bogged vehicles in paddocks tell us of wet conditions we not been experienced for some years.
When a rescue vehicle arrives to help, with a quaintly named snatch strap, please do not attach the strap to a tow ball on either vehicle.
If a tow ball snaps under extreme pressure, the cannonball effect can be fatal for the person in the bogged vehicle.
By the numbers
BEFORE leaving the muddy conditions, I have received some rainfall totals for June.
A farmer at Nashdale measured 302 millimetres, there were totals of 100mm in the Bathurst basin, and 265mm was recorded by the Minister for Rain Gauges at Hobbys Yards.
Mudgee bound
DISTRICT residents usually make an effort to attend the Mudgee Field Days and this year’s event will be held on Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 16.
Watson Tractors from Vale Road, Bathurst will again present a great display of agricultural machinery and their stand is always a practical place to check the products on sale.
While you’re there, don’t forget to congratulate Millie and Dave Watson and their staff as they celebrate 34 years of service to our district’s farming community.
Community’s loss
THE recent death of respected Bathurstian Don Anderson was sadly noted by his family’s many friends.
He is remembered as a handy sportsman and a valued member of the wine producing industry.
Don, his wife Ruth and family members created their vineyard at Caloola through years of hard work and their product label is now at the forefront of cool country wines.
