In the sun-drenched cattle yards of New England, New South Wales, two stockmen stand resolute in the heat of a summer's day. Wearing crisp blue work shirts and wide-brimmed hats - one a classic stockman's felt, the other a light straw - they carefully manage young calves through a steel cattle crush. Their weathered hands grip the metal railings with practiced precision, their body language speaking to generations of agricultural expertise. The landscape beyond hints at the rolling pastoral hills typical of the region, with a cloudless azure sky stretching overhead. Metallic yards gleam in the bright sunlight, creating a geometric contrast against the organic movement of the livestock. Every movement is deliberate and calm, reflecting the quiet professionalism of Australian agricultural workers who understand that careful handling ensures the welfare of their stock.
