New sire Lot 4 Estjam 39/20 coming home to Thunder Hill. Nicely structured, great conformation, positive fat, neg WEC, sound feet and loads of meat. Angus has named him ‘Fireball’. Very happy. – at Woolsthorpe, Victoria

This messmate gum has been down longer than we’ve owned the place, well over 10 years. Still got a lot of good fire wood in it. Definitely need a martini after this.

Rewired the trailer today. Two things I learnt 1. My hands are too big to make a good auto electrician, 2. Electrics take much longer than previously thought, 2. I don’t have the patience for electrical work, 2. Electrical work sucks.

Ran out of sharp chains while cutting firewood. Bugger hate that. 😄

Cutting firewood in 35 degree heat wasn’t appealing so went fishing over at Blue Rock. One monster bass for the trip. Magnificent morning on the water.

Just finished shearing the last of the rams. No beauty pageants will be won and I need a new body. Slightly broken.

After a shocking 18mths of just about everything going wrong. We’re finally back into routine. Shearing done, last of the lambs off to Sale in the next month, year planned out and being excited. Fingers crossed it continues this way 🤪.

Managed 15yrs in the front row and never broke a bone. Falling off the back verandah and going down like a large screaming sack of spuds did it. Thought it was a bad corky till we found the clean break of the fibula a week later. It was a bit sore to walk on 🤣 – at Macclesfield, Victoria

I tried as a dad. Had to change the oil & the filter in the Navara. Both kids keen to learn. Dad managed to drain the transmission instead of the sump. Must have done it 100 times, managed to stuff it up today. They learnt no words they didn’t know. Continued & they learnt. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Every piece of machinery and anything else that can be ridden was climbed upon and attempted to be started. No handbrakes were released 🤞. Big day at #farmworld2024. – at Lardner, Victoria

Merry Christmas all. Christmas lunch is done. Having trouble breathing given the amount of food consumed, 1.5lt of red to get through, it’s raining and I’m watching the best Christmas movie of all time. Good times.

It has always been my goal to have 2 auto drafters running side by side with a 5 way cross-over draft. The software in my homemade drafter was designed with this in mind, just have never got around to building it.
#lifegoals 2 is better than 1 : Setting up 2 Combis for a accelerated joining transition to shedders trial - reached that dream processing rate where everyone just chats and the sheep flow and are drawn through themselves- sheep games a team sport
