A NEW DIRECTION FOR THE OLD RAM

[The Old Ram-Australia]

Hi ,I thought an update was in order... everything is going OK psychically, but I have been warned that my mental health is at risk due to my involvement in so many programs and to this end the new radio program will not proceed due to the technical skills I would need to aquire and "Our Farm" will not now return until early next year.I am also downsizing my involvement two Landcare groups, so mentally I can focus on my recovery.

The farm and the sheep program continue to exceed my expections and in recent weeks a couple of rams sales have happened and the buyers have reported how happy they are with the way they have settled in.

So glad you are on the road to recovery.

Stay on the mend! Offloading some things should make life easier and you can concentrate on enjoying all you’ve worked for. Now go watch those sheep roam around.

 

[Baymule]

You are a busy guy, too busy it seems. Downsizing a few things is a good idea so you can concentrate more on your own recovery. That’s good news about the farm and the rams. You had a vision for your sheep and now your vision has come true.

Glad to hear you are recovering well! Yeah, it can be stressful trying to keep too many plates in the air. Good call to back off on some of them for the time being.

G;day folks, while I am waiting to join a Regen Soils on Zoom I thought I would "say hi".The farm has just come through 10 days of rain and misty days where we got 116 mls (4 1/2 inches) of rain.yesterday it was 0c (32f) on the first clear night. The sheep are looking great, in fact the best I have ever seen the flock and I am so looking forward to "lambing " this year. Looking out my window in the dinning room where the maiden group are grazing it apppears that they have just started to "cycle", given the interest being shown by the young rams I have with them. I will try to post some photos in the next few days...T.O.R.

Excellent!! Good to hear from you. Ah rain - our friends in Texas are beginning to think ol' Noah had the right idea -- though they'd each take more than 2 sheep.

 

[Baymule]

Good to hear from you. I’m glad you are doing so good. I can’t wait to see lamb pictures!

Lots of rain here. Some areas got 22 inches and floods all down river. I’m ok, but sure tired of rain. Thursday another storm, expecting 3-5 inches.

So glad to know that things are going well for you. Here in VA we would gladly take some of the TX rain that @Baymule has been drowning in... we are on the edge of "abnormally dry" on the drought monitor, here in the western part of the state. Getting some rain today, soft and slow so perfect to get the ground softened up and open to more if we get it.

 

[Ridgetop]

Lots of rain in California too - one of our wet cycles - now in Texas and have experienced a couple of thunder and lightning storms. Not drowning like Baymule, but lots of water.

Glad to see you are feeling better and back on line.
