every year. Two "abos" could look after a big mob after the first few days. They kept them feeding till about 11 AM, when they were taken to where they could get a drink, when most of them camped & all chewed their cud for two to three hours, & then fed them back towards the yard all the afternoon, & yarded some in each of the yards for the night, so they would not be likely to rush. The Boss did not seem to realise they were quiet, & still treated them like wild cattle, he did not give them enough room to allow them to walk along & they had to be driven.
"The Boss" was not cursed with superfluous energy, & when we were within five miles or so of the yard he would jog along home & leave us to drive the mob.
As soon as he was out of sight the "Abos" would move out on both sides giving the cattle more room. We left off droving & the cattle would walk along.
