Today is a very gross rainy day! But on the good side we started off the day touring a JBS beef and sheep abattior. This was a great experience! I have never been so up close and personal with the slaughting process. We were literally right next to the carcasses! (It wasn't so good when we got in the way of the workers.) My favorite part is kinda lame if you read about it but it was really cool to see so no judging...they have this bagging machine that is like a giant arm. It picks up the bags and slids it around the different cuts of meat. It knows which bag to pick up because there is a sensor just in front of it that measures the length, width, and height of the cuts. It was just amazing to see how much they are using technology in the slaughting process! The worst part was seeing the machine that slices off the sheeps heads! I was not a fan of that at all! We weren't allowed to take any pictures inside so all I have is a picture of the sign...super lame I know!
After the abattoir we had an amazing lunch at diamond creek tavern. They had really great fried saltwater flathead with chips and apple crumble with ice cream!
The last stop of the day was so fun! We stopped at Webb Black Simmental Ranch. The Webb brothers run the ranch and they were extremely friendly. They are really working hard to make Simis more popular in Austalia. They have a grat philosophy for the business side of the operation...be daring, be different, be new! I think this is a great saying because that is really how you get to be successful as a businessperson. They get most of their semen from America and are following Simi breeders there to grow their herd. Most of their farm was destroyed by the eucalyptus fires three years ago, but they didn't let that get them down. They have continued to grow and increase the simi breed popularity, especially with anugus breeders. They also told us about their family and gave us snacks. :)
Now we are off to Seymour for the night. :)
Dinner at the Seymour Club tastes good, but it did not set well with my stomach. So I do not suggest eating there! But on the good side, I got an entire room with a queen size bed to myself last night! That was pretty awesome! So I took a nice long, hot shower (the first time I had been warm all day!) and then hit the sack.
