Burnished gold Brahman cattle crowd the sturdy metal yards of a remote Kimberley station, their muscular bodies pressed together under the dappled shade of eucalyptus trees. A stockman in a crisp white shirt and wide-brimmed hat moves deliberately among the herd, guiding them with practiced ease through the drafting process. The rich terracotta earth beneath their hooves contrasts sharply with the golden-brown coats of the cattle, highlighting the rugged beauty of Western Australia's pastoral landscape. Two other workers stand quietly at the yard's edge, their weathered clothing and relaxed postures speaking to generations of agricultural expertise. The harsh midday light emphasizes the lean, heat-adapted bodies of these Brahman cattle, bred to thrive in Australia's challenging northern environments. This scene captures the essence of northern Australian cattle management - a delicate dance of human skill and animal resilience under an unforgiving sun.
