GLENGALLAN - GENIUS HOUR
To further deepen their learning as part of Glengallan’s Genius Hour, Year 6 students Jonte and Eddison, under the supervision of Ms Donnelly and Mr Blaikie, visited Toni and Michael Dwan’s ‘Elwanvale’ Limousin and Stockhorse property on the outskirts of Allora. Toni was talking to these students because Jonte and Eddison are interested in learning about how not to stress cattle when working with them in the yards. Toni Dwan breeds about 200 surrogate cows a year and strongly agrees that keeping cattle calm was very important, which was the boys’ main goal for the visit. Some ideas Toni had for keeping cattle calm was the need to be gentle, “do not make your yards go straight under a roof because the cattle may think it is a bear cave” and lastly, “let them move at their speed, not your speed”. Eddison said “I felt it was really great to be learning about cattle as Jonte and I would like to be cattlemen when we leave school”. |
