BIRD'S EYE VIEW: This image of Goodwood steers being mustered mid last year was taken at a height of 120m with the assistance of Ann Brittons latest photography tool, a drone she calls Dame Drone. The muster, which covered 36,000 hectares, resulted in the bigger steers marketed direct to processors and the lighter ones to live exporters. They were in prime condition courtesy of three riper seasons in a row and were headed for the yards.
