Welcome back to another video. Autumn's rolling in. Misty mornings. This is my very favorite time of year. Feels like autumn coming. In the savannah. Moving eggmobile. Hello, cows. Nice to see you this morning. I'm out in T shirt, but it is a little bit nippy. But this is the time of year and it gets super beautiful with the mist in the meadow. And later on, deeper into autumn, it gets so misty here that you can come out in the morning and you can just see a cow's face sticking out the mist with the odd tree in the background. It's very hard to see more than 30 meters or so. It's beautiful. My favorite time of year. And with this cool, damp weather comes nice lush grass growth. And that's one of the benefits of planning our grazing well is we get to graze on some really beautiful pasture late into the year. This is what we're going on to now. Knee height, beautiful thick stemmed, happy grass plants. Hey, what do you think about it? See all the strawberries in the background? Strawberry season is finished. Boscow's coming up last. Not very like you, Malam. First off the line. Always. Up to my thigh. Thick leaves. Look at these beautiful thick stems. That is a blade of grass. One leaf as long as my arm. Beautiful. Well, doesn't take long. And then the sun burns up all the mist. We've been having beautiful hot summer days and August can be a beautiful month like that.

Thanks, Iver. And I'm off again soon with the kids. Got to head off to the east coast as well as head off back to the west coast. Gracie's here till the end of the month, so I'm making the most of it in the glorious weather before autumn really kicks in and it starts getting too cold to be out and about.
