New Gate for Shed
I have lots of news about lambs but I need to do this in date order and so have to update my journal about other important things that have happened on the farm since my last blog.
Mum and Dad visited in the last week in March and Dad single handedly installed a gate that I had custom made by the same guy who made my cattle yards. The installed gate was a total surprise, as I had planned on taking a day off and helping Dad with the installation. But Dad knew what he was doing and thought I would only be in the way and went ahead and did it himself (I think Mum helped at the end when propping up didn't work). The sheep panels that were there before are now going to be used around the raised flooring for shearing. Through a friend of Russell's, I obtained four pallets to use to raise the shearing flooring. Hopefully to save the shearer contending with dirt and hay from the floor when shearing. That is yet to happen, though. I have included a photo of the new gate.
