As soon as I start walking around with a camera out in the paddock.. in the middle of the afternoon.... EVERYBODY wants to know what I'm doing!!
Doubled the size of my suri herd on Sunday with the addition of Hannah and her cria Harriet.
Also joining the team is Tina, who is a blue eyed white and appears to be deaf. She has had no issues raising her crias who are not similarly afflicted.
Even the sheep want to know what's going on!
And Sunday Rose likes hanging with the big kids so much that when they ran up to greet me, she forgot everything Sherrie told her, and came too!!
Ody and his half brother Rhys (left) and full brother Ody (right) all starting to gel as a team in the Ng paddock.
Such a handsome boy:
Chaska (centre) and Kantu (right) have completely settled in now, here being expertly photo-bombed by Mareebah!

New Arrivals
Today I drove to Wilton to the home of Painted Persian Sheep to collect our new ram lambs, Lynley and Barnaby - AKA, the Inspectors.
All the sheep were keen to say hello!!
This is Barnaby's mother Autumn - she's a Persian sheep, his father is a Damara.
And this is Lynley's mother Suzi (Dorper), who wasnt keen to step back for a proper photo!!
And his father Abraham.
And his (full) sister... from last season, whose name I've forgotten.
Long trip home, but we made it. Milly, Molly and Mandy were greeted enthusiastically by the boys, who made no nasty comments about their new (basin) haircuts which they got yesterday along with 'nether region' trim courtesy of Reids Flat shearer Cliff - who was very patient with fidgety lambs!!
The whole gang wanted to meet the new bugs!!
Especially Red Riding Hood!!
