Merino ewes and Hereford cattle cluster together on undulating pastures beneath a mottled grey sky, presenting a quintessential New England tableland landscape. A stockman on horseback, wearing a wide-brimmed akubra and weathered riding gear, quietly guides the herd across lush green and golden grasslands dotted with scattered eucalyptus trees. Weathered fence lines divide the paddocks, suggesting generations of careful land management in this resilient agricultural region. The robust brown and white cattle display the distinctive markings of classic Hereford breeding, their muscular forms testament to the careful genetic selection of this renowned beef-producing district. A working dog sits attentively near the horse, ready to assist in moving the herd with practiced precision. The soft overcast light reveals the textured landscape - a patchwork of native grasses, worn earth tracks, and the sparse, wind-shaped trees characteristic of Australia's high country grazing lands.
