Waiting.


It's that time of the year when not much is happening. We seem to be waiting. Waiting for the ewes to lamb and the rain to fall more regularly. At the end of May two of the ewes had a lamb each which was a bit of a shock. Our ewes tend to lamb at the beginning of July. These two early birds mean we have to catch them and ring their tails. If we wait they'll be much to big! Luckily both are girls so that's all that needs doing. As for the rain, there's been some falling but not enough for the creeks to start flowing. As the photo above shows our dams are quite low which will be a problem if the levels are the same when the summer returns. BOM mentions the possibility of continuing low rain fall levels and an El Nino, quite depressing really.
