Cow Milking
Think about how many places in the world where farmers allow you to milk their cows. The answer is almost none, have you ever wondered why? The slower you are the less milk you get and and increases the likelihood of the cow getting sick. We have systems in place to prevent such problems, including the purchase of a small milking machine.
Join the cow milking team. We have always hand milked a cow to supply milk for the household. We also let her raise her own calves. In 2015 we purchased a electric milking machine to help the milking team. Myella was once a dairy farm where the cream was turned into butter and exported to England!

Farm Tour
Ride around the farm in our special tour vehicle, every tour is a little different. The tour allows general discussion as the farm stay experience often stimulates thoughts and questions.
There are many options the tour can discuss including; focus on wildlife, fauna and flora, bush tucker, conservation, farming practices, Myella's history and the life cycle, behaviour and instincts of cattle.
The farm tour takes in the scenery, the landscape is often likened to an African scene but with kangaroos, cattle and bottle trees!

Lasso and Whip Cracking Lessons
Most farms have a stock whip but they are rarely used. We demonstrate whip cracking with our guests and teach them. It's a fun thing to do, to make a sonic boom with your hands!
Whip cracking is the act of producing a cracking sound through he use of a whip. It was used during livestock droving days. When large mobs of cattle were being walked from town to town. The horse rider would crack a whip to make a sound to keep them moving, rarely does the whip ever hit the animal and it is never done in anger. Nowadays it has become an art.
Ever wondered why a whip cracks? It is all to do with the release of stored energy, at a rate beyond the speed of sound. It is the loop itself that generates the sonic boom.
We also offer lasson lessons for fun and we can teach our guests how to do fancy tricks with a simple rope.
