On the sheep's back
There's been a fair swag of sheep running around a couple of our paddocks for the last couple of weeks. I was over Da Bosses house last night for a barbecue and I asked him who they belonged to, as I thought that they were here on agistment. Apparently they're ours, all two and a half thousand of them - cattle prices are too high to keep the feedlot full so they bought a mob of joined ewes with the intention of selling the fat lambs and ewes seperately in about March. It would have been a shame to see all the feed in the paddocks go to waste; it will nearly all die off over summer whether it gets grazed or not. I can see a few late nights with the shootin' iron coming up, the pigs will hammer the lambs, to say nothing of the foxes and cats. Could be worse, they could be planning to shear them.

Rat,

Don't let the Kiwis know...

Pretty good new look, Dirk. The pull-downs on the left I especially like.
Ranger,
I have a Kiwi fellow employee. I've been keeping an eye on him.
Stumpy,
sounds like you're going for body shots. I haven't been pig shooting for ages, so I'll use whatever Da Boss pays for. The only time I go after pigs these days is when I get really bored and go with the Young Bloke, then we take two dogs and and a knife.
Tony, ta for that. It's a work in progress.
I could swear I left a comment here yesterday. Hmmmmm.
Cant,
have you looked down the back of the couch?
That's where everything goes when I lose it.
Great bloog you have here
