Due to start mid-month, ground is white here again, cold newborn calves are better than cold newborn lambs - simply because there are less of them
hopefully were a little while off white stuff here, at least your heading in right direction.

We put them with a wiltshire tup this year, as luck would have it we sold most of our good tups and the one we kept, keeled overhopefully were a little while off white stuff here, at least your heading in right direction.
good luck wi lambing
I hope you have a winter like ours, in like a lamb, out like a lion, and gave us a proper soak. We haven't truly caught up on soil moisture until very recently.

our pond at work (I'm a truckie) didn't start to flow out of the outlet until the 21st of June (shortest day). Normally it would be February some time.

Classic La Nina for us, we effectively get no humid SW airflow = no rainquite a difference then, were prob gonna have to get used to these extremes, but then again ya might get a wet summer
What we get instead are meridional (sp?) airflows - northerlies and southerlies, with the odd easterly - which give us huge shifts in temperature depending on which one it is
Hence the 1-in-100 year weather events, this is a 1-in-100 year type of climatic condition. Usually La Nina starts out fierce and tapers off, the past 3 years have got progressively more intense with no real sign of weakening. Hopefully some thundery stuff this summer to keep the grass coming behind us
Been in 16 days here.
