ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Having spent most of her educational years in suburbia around the Newcastle region, Joanne Le Maitre became a farmer by default. After she graduated high school, her parents ‘retired’ onto a small property in the Hunter Valley. She took a job on a neighbouring property where she milked cows for a year before attending college. When an old brindle cow entered her life, it was here that her love affair with cattle began. After attending the local Agricultural College, she returned to the farm to dedicate her life to taking care of a herd of Murray Grey cattle and some Wiltshire Horn sheep. She still shares the farm with all her pets and wild friends.

On the day of the sale, a kind-hearted man named George and his wife Winnie went to look at the cows because they had just moved onto a small farm themselves, with their daughter Joanne. George was not a farmer by trade but he decided to embrace country life and buy a house cow to milk.

George needed a quiet cow that was well behaved, and it didn’t matter if she was a bit old, so when Seven Hills walked up to the fence where George and Winnie were standing, Seven Hills took a handful of grass straight out of George’s hand. He decided that she was the cow for him and it was as if Seven Hills had just won the cow lottery!
