New Lambs

Last Monday night (7th June) Zemiel’s sheep Rocket Pocket gave birth to two healthy lambs - one girl and one boy. The girl is curly fleeced like her mother and the boy is has straight hair like the father (Rambo). The girl also has a white head like Rocket, while the boy has a black head. 

We managed to be there for the births and Rocket didn’t seem to mind the intrusion.

The girl is the oldest.

Tuesday morning.

We will probably be looking to breed the sheep one more time, but to a different ram this time. 

New Cow

Greetings. One week ago, our family went for a drive to Rockhampton to collect a dexter cow for our place. The idea is that we need about 4 -6 cows to help keep the grass in the back paddock down. It has a lot of rats tail grass in it and ruins the mower blade spindles and bearings. I’m hoping the cows will be more resistant.  

Meet Lucy

She is a bit skittish about being patted but is now taking hay from the hands of the kids. 

I have in the horse round yard now but will expand her area this week coming. I’ll be investigating in some electric fencing equipment. 

Lucy is pure bred dexter, but not currently registered. We’ll be looking to get a few more in July.
