Exercising With Fitness Equipment

by admin — Categories: Equipment — Tags: , , , , , Comments Off

Exercising on a regular basis is key to losing weight and getting into the best shape of your life. While many people don’t enjoy going to their local gym, there are many types of fitness equipment available there that can keep your workouts interesting and challenging. To shed fat and build muscle, you must incorporate weighted exercises into your weekly fitness program. Using weights will increase your metabolism and the muscle you build will allow your body to burn more calories, even at rest. That means that when you leave the gym, your body will still be a fat burning furnace. You can get a great workout with just a few pieces of equipment. (more…)

Saleyard Australia

by admin — Categories: SaleyardsComments Off

Not only do Australians consume an average of 46.5kg of red meat each year, but they have also been a world leader in the export of commercial livestock for more than 30 years. As one of the most successful and proficient producers of livestock and a leader in the export of red meat and livestock, the Australian red meat industry plays an instrumental role in the country’s society, environment, and economy.

Much of the success of Australia’s $16.1 billion red meat industry is attributed to the country’s abundance of high quality saleyard operators. Most of Australia’s best saleyard operators, as well as the red meat industry’s other profitable operations such as the growing feedlot sector, are located in the resource-abundant state of Western Australia. In fact, five of Australia’s best saleyard operators are located in Western Australia. These include Boyanup Saleyard, Brunswick Saleyard, Katanning Saleyard, Midland Saleyard, and the Great Southern Regional Cattle Saleyards found in the city of Plantagenet. (more…)

Animal health through effective partnership

by admin — Categories: Animals — Tags: , , Comments Off

In addition to their state of the art facilities, the Great Southern Regional Cattle Saleyards, like all of Western Australia’s saleyards, maintains the highest standard of animal health through effective partnerships with all levels of government and livestock industries. All of Western Australia’s saleyard operators understand that livestock health, welfare, and biosecurity are essential to Australia’s red meat industry, and like the Great Southern Regional Cattle saleyard, they each believe that the welfare of their animals is of the utmost importance.

All of Western Australia’s saleyard operators, therefore, believe in and abide by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ (RSPCA) five freedoms to ensure that they both maintain and improve the welfare of their animals. These are RSPCA’s five freedoms: 1. Freedom from hunger; 2. Freedom from discomfort; 3. Freedom from pain, injury, or disease; 4. Freedom to express normal behavior; 5. Freedom from fear and distress. (more…)

Camden Acres and it’s History

by admin — Categories: Traveling — Tags: , Comments Off

The Camden Acres locality is steeped in rich history – why not spend a day touring it’s surrounds, and explore the historic places and buildings that exist. The Macarthurs, after whom the area is named, lived at what is now Belgenny Farm, not far from Camden Acres. Belgenny Farm dates back to 1805 (after the land was granted to them by Lord Camden).

The Macarthur family first arrived on the shores of Australia in 1790, and were the pioneers in establishing Merino wool production, grape and wheat growing, horticulture and dairy farming. Indeed, it was in the early 1800s that the first commercial vineyard and winery was built at the farm. At Belgenny Farm, just down from Camden Acres, you can sample wines and take part in the annual Wine Festival, held every September. The home and farm offers an experience that needs to be seen to be believed. Gledswood Homestead and Winery is also just up the road from Camden Acres, and consists of a homestead built around 1810, on a tranquil setting of iconic Australiana.

Sample an Aussie barbeque, and let the kids run around the hilly parklands. Once owned by early pioneers in the wool industry, the Chisholm family, it is now run by people dedicated to preserving farm life of 100 years ago. So pop in and milk a cow, learn how to throw a boomerang, or just relax and try some wines in the old sandstone coach house. To experience the real country life, call into the Camden Saleyards, where on a Tuesday and Wednesday you can watch (and even take part in!) the weekly livestock auctions. (more…)
