Expansive dryland cattle feedlot captures the stark beauty of agricultural production in northwest New South Wales. A fleet of white and grey cattle crowd the dusty, fenced paddocks, clustered around feeding lanes where a gleaming John Deere tractor pulls a green Faresin feed mixer wagon. The landscape stretches dramatically - a patchwork of bare earth enclosures against a pale salt lake or dry floodplain horizon, punctuated by scattered eucalyptus trees weathered by endless summers. Predominately dark brown and black Angus and Brahman-cross cattle populate the feedlot, with some striking white Charolais animals providing visual contrast. The aerial perspective reveals the precision of modern agricultural infrastructure - carefully designed feed lanes, multiple interconnected holding paddocks, and strategic water and feeding points that enable intensive livestock management in an arid environment. Brilliant blue sky with wispy clouds suggests mid-morning light, highlighting the geometric patterns of agricultural engineering against the raw, uncompromising Australian pastoral landscape.
