Shearing today! 🐑 🐑 🐑 in the rain 🙈

We knew shearer was coming … so the sheep were already in the shed and (mostly) dry. The humans were p**s wet through, but hey.
Good job done 👏
Thank you to Jack Plant for super shearing. Much appreciated …. Although the girls 🐑 🐑 🐑 couldn’t quite believe they had no coats on a rainy day like today

Welcome to the world, Mr Gruber 💙
Have a feeling this boy is going to be one to watch. Strong and sturdy already.

Last lamb for this season - but the hard work is certainly not over! It’s like bringing a newborn home and then finding out you never have a moment to yourself again 😂

Managed to get away from the lambing shed , to spend some time with the doggos.
Murphy and Baloo both enjoyed a run around, a mooch and, of course, a spot of digging 🙈
Whatever you spend most of your day doing… it’s so worth it, to step away for a little while - sort of refresh and reset!
