Nice spring in the house today. A gentle breeze, good drying weather.
I closed off the ryegrass paddock for hay, if it doesn't suddenly get dry before it gets warm we should have either hay or silage off it this year. It's also time to look at fertiliser or lime. When you take hay off every year it's a net export of nutrients. It would be great to get a load of manure to spread over it.
We had a lamb roast dinner with Shane and Juliet and family tonight. Shane set up his telescope and we had a good look at the blue moon. It's amazing how much detail you can see with good magnification. He also took some photos of a small aurora. Apparently 2025 will be the peak, so the southern lights will be building up over the next couple of years and we might even be able to see them from the farm. It's nestled a little low at the foot of the Sideling to see the lights.
The calves are routinely turning up at the back of the chook house and I have to let them through the back yard to their feeder at the top gate. I might as well move the feeding station across to the chookhouse gate and save everyone a bit of time.
Sarge has licked himself another booboo. It's down one arm so his coats won't cover it, so he's stuck with blue cones for a week while it gets cream applied and heals.
I sent off my job application for Sheep Connect, fingers crossed !
