We've just finished shearing here at Mooroobah and the flock sure looked happy to have their woolly coats removed for the summer season. We woke before dawn to a gorgeous morning, perfect weather for shearing, no rain in sight and not too warm. Heading out to bring the flock in to the yards, the smell of dewy pasture greeted us putting smiles on our faces at the freshness and peacefulness of the dawn.
"Big day," Clive kept saying "it's going to be a big day!" The two of us worked the yards, drafting the lambs off the ewes, we took this as an opportunity to weigh the lambs and saw some great results coming through.
We're excited and can't wait to start delivering Lauriston Lamb to your door in the new year!
Here is a few pics from shearing day...
Lucky for us the flock are great to move and don't mind visiting the yards. It gets quite noisy, they love to chat to each other when they are on the move.
Even the nosey bull from next door came over to say G'day!
Some ewes and lambs waiting patiently in the yards. Green grass growing in the yards keeps them happy even though it's Summer!
A few more stickybeaks posing for the camera.
Eric and Rochester came in for a visit too, the lambs love them and often pop under the fence to say hello (those that can still fit).
Fresh fleece for the ladies and some rather impressive lambs.
The first-cross Border Leicester/Merino ewes really are great mothers, here is one lamb sitting and doing a great job.
