Lambing 2026 about to begin. Weather over Sunday-Monday will be a challenge but these girls should have no problems pulling through that. Stocked at 14 ewes/ha in small pdks with 2500kg+DM/ha of tetraploid perennial ryegrass...

An innovation I am working on......felt fencing...
Sigh, the transition to shedding sheep presents some challenges...

Weighing out fertiliser for forage cereal trials just harvested. Forecast rain in the coming few days will be welcome!

It's a bit stressed, but gee the phalaris has hung on well. Curiously, every night my stocking rate lifts by 30-40% but the roos clearly preference everything else before phalaris....

Well, that point has been reached. Nil autumn break means no late winter feed for lambing so these girls will have to go. 21/22/23 drop Composite x Nudie ewes mated to Nudie rams. Great way to kick-start entry into shedding sheep. Lambing ~10th August. DM or call if interested.
