A nest of happy lambs!
In our more exposed paddocks we put out some hay bales for shelter, before feeding them out to our cattle.
Also a lovely maternal ewe doing what they do best- mum life!

China - an original pet (5years old) once again delivering some quality lambs. Thought it was fitting to call one lamb America and one Russia in these trying times 🫣! That’s 9 lambs to date! Too much China

Winter mode in full swing:
- ewes start lambing in 2.5 weeks
- hoggets scanned very well -144% (8%dries)
- 1120 ewes and hoggets on farm
- new additions to farm - 20 in calf angus cows
- feed situation looking good- but Its a long time to spring so we dont take the finger off the pulse
- lamb woolover cover ordered
- some pink eye in the ewes- currently being treated
- few pre lambing feet to trim this weekend
- hoggets started their oat, Italian , Raphno crop

And it’s been wet.. very lucky we farm such a forgiving bit of land!

Now thats a good outcome!

2.6Ha paddock grazed with 730 ewes, 35 cattle at 500kgs over 2.5days with some hay and baleage, and yes we can make mud.

Sheep showing their value by making no mess after 87mls in 24hrs after 90mls the week before.

Good grass covers and adequate space 👍🏻
