Got it all in ok. Well I say all in, it's about 5 feet beyond the front of the pit and there's about 8 acre to bale.Hope its dry up with you, currently chucking it down here. Got 37acre baled but there's 18acre I mowed this morning, to do tomorrow
The same acreage last year didn't fill the pit even before it settled!

Anyone at a loose end next week? My young shearer is away to silage and I’m looking for someone to go on the second stand. Will all be 500 plus days on hill ewes

I'm currently looking for more sheep, as practice for ' sharpening up' continues ..
going to get a few shedders in to tidy up I think ...The first ram I bought ,was/ is such a good shedder.......and his offspring all had a prompt and total shed, he was a very good passer on of that particular gene set ...

Blackie hoggs in rannoch. Great shearing but wriggling wee blighters.
I’ve got Emily Te Kapa working with me just now. Cracking shearer, it’s definitely in the genes

Last ewe shorn at home. She was hiding in the forestry when I got the rest done.
Don’t think much of my chances for the blade team for the world champs in 2022

Sheared 4 today for a guy. He said he was in the middle of town. He wasn't joking. Big house in the middle of town, next to the chip shop and across the road to a pub and a cafe.
Sure enough around the back he had an orchard with 4 wooly sheep
