🐮 Probiotics… farm style! 😂

Today’s job was giving this little 24-hour-old calf some natural yoghurt to help support a healthy gut biome and get those good bacteria established. I haven’t tried the natural yoghurt before, but I’ve got it on good authority that it can be a great farm hack to help upset tummies.

Simple enough… until the piping bag (my idea 🫣) split. 🤦‍♂️💥
Suddenly the calf, Bow and half the surrounding paddock were getting the probiotic treatment! 😂

Meanwhile, mum Windrush has been an absolute superstar. ❤️ After showing signs of mastitis, she has calmly let us milk her out right there in the paddock — no halter required — and allowed us to stomach-tube her calf with a good dose of clean milk, also sitting in the middle of the paddock with no restraints.

Such an amazing temperament and a beautiful mum. She seems to know we’re there to help.

Such a great weekend and such a great group of people. Even though I’ve hosted a number of these workshops now, the learning never stops and I always come away with new tools and a deeper understanding of my animals.

Rain, mud, gravel… then an incredible weekend! 🌧️🐂

What a weekend at Sea Crest Highland Cattle!! 🐂

Hosting another of Bree’s Bovine Behaviour & Halter Training Workshop is always a highlight—but this one started with a challenge.

After nearly 40mm of rain in the two days before the workshop, our yards were a muddy mess. So, the night before everyone arrived, we scraped out the slop and spread 10 cubic metres of gravel to make sure everything was safe and ready to go.

The effort was well worth it!

With 12 participants, 15 recently weaned Highland calves, and people travelling from across Victoria and interstate, it was a fantastic two days of learning, building confidence and seeing the incredible results that come from low-stress stockmanship.

A huge thank you to Bree for another outstanding workshop, and to everyone who came along. Your enthusiasm made it a weekend to remember.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 💚

Thank you, Scotchwood Farm, for the kind support and for promoting Bree’s Bovine Behaviour workshop. It’s fantastic to see breeders, educators, and cattle enthusiasts working together to support one another, promote good stockmanship, and showcase the Highland breed in Australia. We’re all in this together, and that’s what makes our community so special. 🤎🐂 Scotchwood Farm Bree's Bovine Behaviour - Natural Cowmanship

We had a HUGE response to Bree’s Cattle Handling & Halter Training Workshop at Scotchwood Farm!🤯
The workshop sold out within hours, and the waitlist continues to grow, with enquiries coming in from interstate too! 🐮✨

Missed out? Bree is running another workshop in Victoria on 4–5 July. This will be held at Sea Crest Fold, who has the most beautiful property and cattle (I can talk I have 4 myself) It’s a great opportunity to learn about cattle behaviour, natural cowmanship, and stress-free halter training.
If our workshop is anything to go by, places won’t last long!

Bree’s training is practical, hands-on, and ideal for anyone wanting to build trust, confidence, and better communication with their cattle. Highly recommended! 😊🐂
