I’ll pass on that one too and will leave it those with the experience. Over to you Elvis old mate.

I try to compliment the group and we're talking about sheep... Geez!

No good deed goes unpunished.

Sorry Punkin…you are right mate, the members here are a damn fine bunch of good guys. Animosity never seems to raise its ugly head, and everyone gets on with everyone else…but those KIWIs have to be watched around a mob of sheep…the pretty ones just aren’t safe.

The silence from Elvis is deafening....

Tell me...How do you tell the pretty ones from the ugly ones? Elvis? Vince?

there was three good buddies walking along going for a hunt....an American,an Ozzie and a kiwi....strolling along corn field with SxSs in crook of arm and spaniels casting around as they do...they came to edge of field and a ewe was seen with head stuck in the fence....
the American looked at ewe and said "gee I wish that was Julia Roberts"
the Kiwi looked at ewe and said "I wish it was Rebecca Gibney"
the Ozzie looked at the ewe and said "gee I wish I was alone and it was dark"

That didn't answer the question...Elvis.

But did the KIWI offer to loan him his gum boots and Velcro gloves mate?

wouldnt need to,head stuck in fence n all......might have even been electric fence,sure to keep it twitchin LOL....

beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder mate.......
I did give my three lambs a cuddle as placed them in horse float to head off to new home...well I carried them in arms,close to body to make sure the little huas didnt get away.......fat little huas they were too.our stock is doing VERY well this summer,its currently persisting down with rain for third time in as many weeks,the grass is growing like mad...awesome to have a good early summer for a change,3-4 days of hot norwest wind sees it burn off again and stock goes short of feed...
yip I have soft spot for the wooly wee huas,particularly like cooking then eating them ,roasts n chops are top of my list of favourite foods...

It’s great to hear that you are getting the rain that we are mate. There’s an old joke about sitting and watching the grass grow…that is exactly what’s happening at my place, thanks to all the rain we’ve had you can literally see the grass lawn growing. Ordinarily it’s a fortnightly cut, but at the moment it’s down to less than a week.

At what age do you “process” your lambs mate? One of the nicest flavour lamb roasts came from a two tooth hogget…and I got plenty of meat from it as well…filled my Mum’s freezer nicely.

SWMBO and I wont eat them less than 3 years old....yeah they taste ok younger,but the yeild per animal is so much larger if you wait.

spread fertilizer on paddock we harvested grass silage off last Sunday so 8 days ago....4" of grass on it today.
