G'day and thank you all for your messages of support,i am heartened and comforted by your messages.
In answer to the questions.In the last 6 months the management of the farm has been modified to reduce the workload.We have always paddock lambed with as little disturbance and intervention as possible,we do not hand feed unless exceptional circumstances apply.Apart from the new sheep which can lamb anytime our first lambing will be our Suffolk's which were joined to the Australian White and this will start in a few weeks time (and i cant wait for the results).Jenny takes care of her chooks and her two dogs.My doges have a 2 km run each day while i drive the truck and check the far ewe group.All the others are observed from the drivers seat.My dogs are then fed and Jenny brings in the wood for the fire from the wood shed "she built" years ago.
So today i managed a few pic's for you all.
1.The Awassi's have discovered the mineral mix.
2.The new Awassi lamb(spotted one,its a ram).
3. B.H. Dorper lamb.
4. B.H. Dorper twins.
5. One of the Damara lambs can be spotted.
Hope you all enjoy the pic's,i will update as time permits.......T.O.R.
