Bringing in the sheep

Kids where out in force today to help with the shearing. Cinderella driving and Zaza yelling at the dogs. All ending up burnt, tired and grumpy. Tomorrow I think we'll stick to the pool.

Finished harvest on Nye, just. The last 100ha took about a week, with the harvest bans, light rain and a flat tyre. Not the most memorable harvest. Yields where down 30% and the price half the previous year. Other than that we had a great run. Grunters first year driving a header full time and he did a great job and Sakid did a good job in the chaser bin, apart for the bent PTO shaft and augur. Cleaning up after harvest now and starting some sheep work. Shearing some lambs tomorrow so we can finish them off.
