Despite the rain and cold, Harry Lawson was kind enough to show us some nice young bulls and tell us about their multiple farms. It was also neat to hear about Harry's thoughts of their partnership with the Gardiner Angus Ranch; especially since we are accompanied by Grant Gardiner on this trip.
After a quick stop at a coffee and wine shop, we made our way to Lima Park, driving past some beautiful scenery while snapping lots of pictures.
Lunch along the way was more of the same: fish and chips or chicken schnitzel (for the third time!). When we got to Lima, Hamish McMillan informed us about his operation of over 500 commercial Hereford cattle (he claims the ideal size of cow for him is 750-830 kilograms or 1600-1800 pounds) and 3000 sheep.
He talked about his experiences with NLIS (which were somewhat different than those we heard from the government's NLIS representative we heard from earlier this week) and their requirements for exporting to the European Union. Then we finished off our day with my favorite meal so far: creamy sweet chili linguini with prawns (shrimp).
