@KennedyCreek1 Such things can be handy.... 🤔🤫

@KennedyCreek1 Sorry to hear, Stuart. Much sympathy to the family.
He was a lovely chap and I was honoured to know him.

@herdyshepherd1 Do any of the boffins ever propose depopulating suburbia and letting the area "rewild" ?

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@herdyshepherd1 🤣🤣 No shame!
At least my sheep would have the decency to look guilty and try get back where they got in. Sometimes. 🤣

When I told my dad I got the rural reporter gig, he passed on his best sheep joke. This seems like an appropriate time to share. *clears throat…Why couldn’t the ewe fall pregnant? Because she was under the wether 🥁🙃

@tasbiophiliac @USCDetectionDog @CSIROPublishing Can't say I've got one of them eating afterbirth et al but someone wanted to help "clean out the spring". (not hi-res tho)

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@k_bolto At least that's 1 option less! I'm finding that the mothering is an issue. ran mine through a bit more intensive this year to try isolate problems. Was interesting...! (I have smaller numbers than most of course) Some breeds can't/won't count their lambs!

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@Warwick_Long 43mm at Moorngag, NE Vic. Most soaked in too. :)

@Davesqad @freshy1973 @StephRyanNats Given that suicide stats can take 3yrs to be finalised and that suicide is often not declared in absence of suicide note then the report from 2020 should probably be taken with grain of salt. Other indicators wld show numbers way up. Time will tell. Unfortunately.

@heritage_fruit ..... et tu ... ? 😬 Have been too busy with lambing!

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@cuspid33 @Brooksey1995 @Warwick_Long @heidimur Sorry :) I prefer grass and trees to bitumen. :)

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@cuspid33 @Brooksey1995 @Warwick_Long @heidimur Humans do make a mess, yes.

[Beersheba Farm @btwin1]

@cuspid33 @Warwick_Long @heidimur Livestock don't light fires? Or leave non-biodegradable rubbish?
Admittedly, some are good at opening gates and not closing them but that does tend to be more a human skill.
