A line of Hereford cattle makes its steady ascent from the misty lowlands, herded by two stockmen against a backdrop of ochre hills and soft blue sky. The valley below is thick with fog—“pea soup” dense—spilling across the paddocks like a tide of white. The early morning light glances off russet hides and worn hats, lending warmth to the cool, rising air. There’s movement and resolve in the scene, a quiet determination etched into both beast and man as they climb toward clearer ground. This is the heart of country labour—stoic, familiar, and timeless.
