Ram Time
It's that time of year when the rams get to have some fun/do some work. They have about 6 weeks when they are in with the girls, then the rest of the year is all about eating, sleeping and preparing themselves for the year ahead. A very tough life!
They have been next door to the ladies for a couple of weeks, pacing the fence and sweet talking whoever will listen.
I moved them into a new paddock and then let the girls in. The boys came running.
"Well helloooo ladies"
That's about as long as it took for introductions - I'm guessing you can work out the rest.

Chicks update
These are the 2 chicks that hatched out in early February. I wrote about them here if you want to check them out when they were little. Five weeks later and they have grown so fast. It is years since I have bought up chicks and had forgotten the speed that they grow.
My daughters have named them. This one is Davina, or Dave if he turns out to be a boy.
And this one is Cammie or Cam if he is of the male persuasion. That's Lucy watching over them in the background.
I'm still hoping they are both girls but I have a feeling that Davina is going to be a Dave. Oh well my neighbour needs a new rooster so he may get to rule the roost next door.

Late summer view
My destination was the seat on top of the hill. This is the high point on the farm. It's a bit of a walk, and certainly warms you up, but it's worth the effort. My Dad and I towed, dragged and muscled this seat up here years ago. It was quite a job, not sure how we did it, more good luck and will power than brains I think!
Nearly there and I'm ready for a sit down. It is a great place to sit and think ..... or to empty your mind and just enjoy.
The views are great - this is looking to the left,
And looking to the right,
And sitting back and looking straight ahead. Sometimes a crazy idea is worth the effort.
