When I was a kid, you never went into the ram or bull paddock unless you could out sprint it..
This is Neville, 1 of our current Dorper rams. So good natured and docile. I had to clip his hooves recently. Alone. He’s 90+ kg, I’m 68 kg. Flipped him on his back. Job done in minutes, no struggle..🙂

Nice to see some water in the creek, although it will need another dump to start flowing. Has been dry as the proverbial for months..

Sheep in the vineyard..can mean one of two scenarios- someone left a gate open…or vintage is finally over. Thankfully it’s the latter- two incredibly intense and exhausting months that’s going to take some time to recover from..

I’ve listened to classical music all my life, including when I was a punk, as well as most other genres of music, which I still listen to- mostly jazz & blues.
