you fellas are a crack up.....

I just had a wee look at the young fella, and damned if I can't see a resemblance from my younger days when I wuz a young takka.

Is it the horns?
or maybe the hard head?

nothin' but love Vince, nothin' but love.

Today we shifted "the boys" out to another reserve so the ladies had some space when hopefully they start to lamb. mainly to give the grass a chance as its plurry cold here now with stuff all grass growth, they will go back in the spring. the other fella in the trailer will end up in our freezer probably in the summer after we have shorn him and his coat is a good length for a floor rug
sorry the photo is too big use ctrl- to shrink it down if need be.taken from my cellphone at about 2' range

He's a good looking bugger...just like his namesake.

Are you about ready to be put out to stud Vince?

shhh hes bashfull ...feeling a tad sheepish like

Me...go out to stud??? Not much use these days mate...firin' blanks.

Enough talk about Vince, show us a few photos of 'Baarrbbarra'

Oh Vince I didnt realise you too were a member of the "just juice club".

update... today we went out to sort the flock. we got all the girls in no bother, I used some blade shears to crutch and belly a few of the ewes and used some rubber rings to dock our lambs. 6 ewes have given us 8 lambs. we then went up the road to deal to the boys.......
well we set up some netting to guide them into a pen,well actually a old swimming pool with fence around it. we then set about driving the boys into it. they had other ideas...4 times they were nearly there and bolted past us . then the 4 arapawas jumped right out of the paddock !!!!! much swearing and cursing on my par t didnt help the situation or family relations any , we cut fence and brought them back up road only to have them jump back in !!!!
so I retied fence moved the car to the jump spot and tried again. found some deer netting and set longer wing to pen..well on the 5th attempt the kids and I got them into the right area and swung the netting around to shut them in...well the big black ram and young one named Kanga cause he likes to jump fences charges into the deer netting. I pounced onto them pinning them both down . the other 4 just looked on and then walked calmly into the pen!!!! I got the shears out and bellied the ram then put Kanga in a shed to cool off while we dealt to the others. I completely shore one sheep and dagged the others. I then let Kanga out..well the hua went straight out and jumped the fence AGAIN . we got car and brought him back to beside paddock when the hua JUMPED THE OTHER FENCE !!! into the neighbors paddock full of 1 year old jersey bulls!!! man I hate jersey bullls, stroppy buggers at the best of times.
off home we went to ring around and find out whos paddock it was. sorted that and back we went.. the weather Kanga was found in amongst these bulls and after a issue with beef coming between me and my mutton I sent a 40 grain subsonic quiet heading dog out to retrieve him . I quickly jumped into paddock and threw him over fence to SWMBO and said "stand on his head so he doesnt move" I hadnt slit throat as didnt want to agro the bulls up any more..then couldnt get over fence cause of hot wire ... I ran along fence till could get over and finished the job.... Kanga is now hanging in our garage awaiting the meat saw to convert him into chops and roasts tomorrow (lets see him try to jump out of the meat dish ).
what a day.

Well Elvis...sounds like you had a very pleasant and relaxing day mate.

Hell be gristely just to P you off.

I noticed you didn't show him the rubber boots and the velcro gloves...

Thats a given.
Why do you think he jumped the fence?
