A stockwoman sits astride her buckskin horse at first light, surveying the expansive cattle feedlot near Goondiwindi. Wearing a blue jacket and safety helmet, she exudes quiet confidence as the golden sunrise bathes the landscape in warm hues. Silhouetted trees and power lines punctuate the distant horizon, while black cattle mill in their adjacent holding pens. The ground is rich, dark earth - testament to the intense agricultural activity of this Queensland region. Her horse stands steady, its flowing copper-toned tail catching the early morning light, embodying the partnership between rider and mount that is quintessential to Australian agricultural work. This moment captures the essence of women in agriculture - skilled, resilient, and integral to the management of large-scale livestock operations, quietly keeping watch as a new day begins in the heartland of rural Queensland.
