OUR STORY

Family to Byron Hinterland | Miniature cattle, pigs, chickens and a dog

We are the Lee family. And this is me, Brandon.

Our family is the 5 of us – my wife, Amelia, and me … and our 3 kids, Griffin, Zoe and Indigo.

Our extended family here is the usual suspects of chickens, cattle and anything else that decides to drop in.

In 2014, we moved here from Brisbane chasing a different life for all of us, especially our kids.  Our dream for 9 years was to create a family-centred life, in beautiful natural surroundings. Our property is called Big Sky Dreaming – because that’s what it is for us … our big sky (ultimate) dream.

My personal interest in the breed of miniature Galloways came about when I first saw them.  With their shaggy coats and teddy-bear-like appearance, I knew our kids would love them.  

As a relatively new breeder, the ease at which they calve, their non-specific grazing (they’re not fussy about what grass they eat) and their docile nature, are all benefits in helping me learn the ropes. Our three children have become quite comfortable feeding, patting and brushing “the girls” as we fondly call them … well, all except our bull calf “Bulliboi”.

So here we are.  We hope to see you here soon.
