Interesting to read that Rio Tinto is the biggest hay farmer in WA’s North!
Not good to read that their production has recently been cut 😕
There’s an article on WA’s hay crisis in the new issue of WA Show Scene in Hoofbeats magazine. This will be be going out later this week.

With producers across the state looking far and wide for hay at a time of below-average rainfall, the mining giant's sudden drop in production comes as a blow to the livestock industry.

Hard to understand how someone could stand by and watch their horses starve. The unnamed woman found guilty in this instance has been fined $6000 and banned from contact with horses for five years. She was also ordered to pay $20,000 for court and care costs, as she should. Thank goodness someone noticed the terrible condition these horses were in and contacted the RSPCA WA. Hopefully Maverick and Mossy will both find loving forever homes.
