Chapter I

A snippet of the story

As the next triple rolled up to the loading ramp I ran to the back yards with James to get the next deck of fat heifers up ready to load on the truck, to my relief this was the last deck of cattle to be loaded. We have loaded 24 decks of cattle in this Northern Territory summer morning, this is defiantly not everyones chilled Sunday morning. It was gonna be a hot day out here we wanted the cattle loaded and on the road before one this afternoon, the tyres can blow with the tar this hot.
