It was a cold morning when the truck arrived for the lambs. There was the usual chaos as the lambs were loaded, they aren't the brightest! We finally got them loaded and of to the market they went. In the end we got $70 a head. It's always sad to send stock away but we're getting short of water. The ewes we can't keep will go next. It's not just water, the paddocks are turning into dust so we're hand feeding and we only have three round bales left. So the next time you think 'what a beautiful day' just remember that farmers really need rain!
