First Shear!

A couple of weeks ago the two ram-lambs got their first shear thanks to a couple of college students - one who knows what he's doing, and one who is learning.

So the pen had a covering of shorn wool (and no we are not adding spinning wool to our list of artisan hobbies), while of the sheep one was fine and the other had a nick in his ear.

I came home a day or two later to find a tractor parked by the shed - thankfully not a purchase, but a friend of a friend etc situation, where we will be caretakers of the tractor and so it is there if we need it.

The pigs are getting bigger, the calves are too, the paddocks are green and all is good.
