arrived here about 6 weeks ago, and no longer roly poly, but growing into his skin
First walk with the BIG dogs and it's all a little scary
Especially when they get this close and personal
But a week later I'm pretending to be a seal - so I can ambush Cruise
And here I go (of course Cruise couldn't see me!!)
4 weeks later and it's real rough and tumble, and Cruise is on the bottom
I have to be more polite around Maid as she get's grumpy if I attack her, but look how big I'm getting
Woohoo I can see something really interesting, so let's see what it is
Well they look different don't they, not that I really know what they are, but a chase would be fun
But perhaps not, as I haven't learnt how to get over or under that gate as yet (just as well really - CC&B)
However next week, once the ewes have been set stocked for lambing (split into mobs and spread around the paddocks they will lamb in) and the cows have been through the yards (at least I miss out on slopping through the mud this year - though really think it would be preferable to sitting on my butt for another 5 weeks) to get their vaccinations and minerals, and then split up for calving. The Boss will have the time to start Ted's education, and hopefully he will turn into a good Huntaway, as poor Jake is getting a bit sore in the shoulders with too much yard work now, and Maid is getting too old at almost 12 years to really push the ewes around, and don't they know it!
The ewes have been over the conveyor, and had their minerals and vaccinations - so roll on a good lambing. We are going to need all the lambs we can get this year, as predictions are Sheep and Beef Farmers' incomes are going to drop about 17% this coming season (and of course our expenses won't, they will continue to go up).
