Another very useful ecological service provided by the cattle as they reduce the fuel loads is they will also increase the water yield from that catchment. Runoff is a direct function of leaf area index and if there is one thing cattle like doing is reduce leaf area. The difference in runoff between an ungrazed pasture and a grazed pasture is quite significant.

Yet, at the very time when the DSE and their green cultmeisters are complaining about reduced inflows into the Murray Darling Basin, the hypocritical morons are excluding cattle from large sections of the catchment in a way that seriously exacerbates the reduced inflows.

It would be laughable if it were not so terribly ignorant and boorish.

The folks from Barmah are doing the ecology of the Murray a major service by re-introducing grazing animals. So even their protests actions end up being more beneficial than the supposed “good works” of the DSE Scumnoscenti. But whats new? Everything they touch turns to $hite.

Oh how tiresome. If only you became as sick of the sound of your own rants as some others here appear to be. Pigeon-holing folk is the ilk of the non-imaginative, intolerant caveman. Oh, that’ you!

“And we are a friendly, welcoming bunch, even to folks like you, if you would just stop lying all the time.”

Oh I see I do need your permission to post here after all. What was that hypocritical comment …”And now he wants to censor the use of quotes and decide who can post on a public blog.” Lying? You seem to be confusing me with yourself. Perhaps its the brain damage from being in the front row, or just plain bad genes. How very sad.

Playing “cross country rugby”, or “cross country AFL” in the middle of a DSE cattle round up is nothing but a nostalgic return to the rustic roots of all our contact sports. It is unlikely to involve undue violence unless the DSE goons try to take the ball away. In which case they would be seen to join in the game and become, “fair game” as it were.

And if some of the spectators got excited and cheered loudly for their team then they can hardly be blamed if the cattle that DSE have herded into the same area get spooked and bolt in all directions. It is just a normal part of the “games they play in heaven”.

Sport makes such riveting viewing, don’t you think? I bet it would make a really popular program on Youtube. The combination of opposing teams with natural backdrop and the random twists and turns of a third team, the cattle, would be a real “barbeque buster”.

You see, Terra, I really am a social animal. I get on very well with my “own kind”. But lying, incompetent green scumbags with substance abuse issues have never been my “own kind”. I’m just a former Rugby front rower who never did acquire a side-step. Who always seeks the shortest distance between two points, even if that means going through, or over, someone else’s ribs.

And we are a friendly, welcoming bunch, even to folks like you, if you would just stop lying all the time.

What a buffoon. Tells me I am trying to censor and decide who posts here (based on nothing at all) then tells me to get under a rock. Ian, the slime mold have way more intelligence than some hasbeen yobbo like you. You should try learning a few things from them-like how to get on with your own kind.

And now he wants to censor the use of quotes and decide who can post on a public blog.

Best get back under that rock, matey, the slime mould must be getting lonely, again.
