Gday folks, I keep promising that I will touch base more often, but life and the farm just seem to get in the way. Its been pretty hard going as we have not hardly had any rain for 3 months this summer,but finally we got some in the last 3 weeks.Its enough to get the pastures going so we will...

G'day folks, well I finally got a few pictures of the new lambs. Not all of them but I hope to get another chance when the weather clears, but they say it will keep up for a few more days. Why is it so hard to post more than one photo?
