Jason from Hong Kong, having completed a degree in Global Shipping and Supply Chain Logistics, and halfway through his gap year, arrives during late July 2018 to help on the farm.

| Today we are looking to buy cattle at a large stock sale in the midlands. |

Jason helps to re-align and adjust the wallaby exclusion wire outside the pasture fencing, and these Angus steers look on with interest.

Here a group of young Semmental Cross heifers calves watch as Jason un-wraps the silage.
Away from work, we try our luck fishing on the river.
Early in his stay here we had a very long and difficult job to do. It was to find and fix the cause of a blocked pipe, it took nine days to complete but he stayed to see it through, thanks Jason.

One of a backpacker's daily jobs is to feed the chickens and collect any eggs, and most days, even in winter he gets an egg or two. I don't know how he does it., I can't get any :)  |
