Merry Christmas from Susan & Nya

Hi Don,

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy new year!  Nya is doing well, and thankfully doesn’t bother with the tree or decorations.  She chewed up an empty gift bag but that’s all.  Hope you are all doing well.

Helen Springs Station, Australia

Sent from Kadnook Kennels (Australia)

Road  Trains 

This  is a recent  email sent regarding the cattle trains at Helen Springs  Station. 
There  are interesting statistics.    
There  are 17 trucks with 3 trailers and 2 decks per  trailer; 
Therefore  there are 102 decks of cattle and there would be  approximately 
28  cattle per deck; This totals 2,856 head of  cattle 
The  cattle will weigh approximately 500kg each (1102.3  lbs.) 
The  sale price for cattle at Longreach is approx. 165c/kg  (75c/lb.) 
Each  animal will therefore be sold at  $825. 
Total  revenue from this analysis is  $2,356,200 
Another  interesting  fact: 
Each  trailer has 24 tyres plus a dolly with 8  tyres 
For  the 72 trucks there are 4,464 tyres on the  road 
Road  trains loading cattle at Helen Springs Station, north  of  Tennant Creek

Drew in her training gear

Hi Don, 

Here is a picture of Drew in her service dog training gear, in a doctor's waiting room.

She's just started her second heat, so we don't take her out working at the moment, but she's done some good work.  She helped my girlfriend get up in the washroom when her service dog wasn't handy; guided me through a store when I told her to find the elevator, and laid quietly in the hickory farms store surrounded by sausages. 

We also took her "bird startling", as I don't have everything for hunting yet.  She flushed a partridge, and put the spaniel to shame.  Someday I'll be able to shoot the bird for her, so she can retrieve it.
