Milking the buff and feeding 5 calves, more on the way, but not for another 3-4 weeks. Then cleaning out the hens bedding and putting in fresh, doing a spot of fencing. Also cleaning out buildings and weeding gardens.

Separating older ewes for the cull, they're going off to mart tomoz, and tidying up the rest of the ewes for the tup, going in next month. Just hoping i get a decent price for them.
