A NEW DIRECTION FOR THE OLD RAM

[The Old Ram-Australia]

Look out folks, the old ram is contemplating a new change,cant say too much yet but it will be "exciting " for this old farmer anyway.the new project will have two parallel streams and to control this i have enlisted to help of a new Chinese partner to supply RFID ear tags to help manage the project.....T.O.R.

NOT looking forward to winter. At least that means that spring is right and the corner

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Quite a change in just a couple of days. Love the rugged beauty!

At least the snow will give the land some moisture. Do you get snow very often? How long does it last before it melts?

Bring on fall/winter! It's been too hot to do much outside and we have a lot to do!

G'day folks, this was the 2nd heaviest snow fall we have recorded in 20 years.We do not get much in the way of snow (thank heavens) but this lot is more than welcome.With rain and snow-melt we have had 38 mm to date and it has now finished melting on the highest slopes(3 pm).Not a "drop" ran off,such is the absorption nature of our soils now.

No lamb losses that we could find today ,but 2 old ewes did not make it.We will have a closer look at the lambs tomorrow (when the sun is shinning)

Here are the first photos of Tina's new pups,3 weeks old and "fat as seals"....Hope you enjoy ...T.O.R.

The pups are adorable, so fat and healthy! We get snow every few years, it lasts about 3 days, melts and is gone. Usually get about 3 inches of snow, everything shuts down, we have no snow road equipment and people drive like idiots.

Sorry for the 2 old ewes that didn't make it. I hope that the snow and cold doesn't affect lambing.
