    Feel better soon Wifey. Tell him he got away with that because he didn’t say ‘The’ wifey. Hasn’t it been great to see the sunny days, she says as the rain keeps coming Sun 23rd, we need it though.

      Few reasons, increase lamb birth weight and survival of the lambs at birth. We are looking at shearing before mating next year.

    Hi, hope you guys are getting through winter alright.
    Possibly been talked about before but I may have missed it. Was just wondering if you had any plans to put some hinds/weaners/velvet stags behind your deer fencing as the price has come right.
    Interesting topic of conversation for you in a video if you want to cover it.

      Have thought about it, but the area is small and we would need to drop ewe numbers. For us it's better to stick with Sheep and do them well than chase the markets with deer.

    Could you cart 2 smaller pre made ones in, sit them apart and build between them?

    Why are you wearing shorts at all? You have got a beanie on, with a ski jacket and a pair of shorts! It must be just above freezing where you live! Take my hat off to you man, though not on a cold or sunny day! LoL.

      That's almost every fencer, farmer, and shepherd in n.z all wear shorts everyday, sometimes thermals underneath

    • @kiwifarmernz

      I do wear pants sometimes. Shorts are less restrictive when on the hills. And not as hot when I need to put leggings or wet weather pants on . I does look strange tho. I find if the top half is warm then the legs are not too bad.
