Xero, our cade lamb from 2 years ago has had her first lamb. Amazingly the little ewe lamb is the spitting image of her mum and is very easy to pick out in the field. Xero has turned out to be a really excellent mum, never letting the little one go very far from her.

Overall lambing has been much easier this year, with fairly mild dry weather and plenty of grass for the ewes. We have our fingers crossed that the benign conditions continue. We now have 30 breeding ewes and 40 lambs with another 12 shearlings to breed from this year. We anticipate selling most of the rams for meat for friends and family and hope to sell some of the pedigree ewe lambs later in the year.
