Horses on the farm Feeding the dogs

On Noel’s farm, we check on the horses...                       

  ...and feed the farm dogs. 

Inside the wool-shed we replaced

 the floor and made calf pens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

       The calf pens were finished

in August 2006

and the calves arrived.

Lunch time for our 80 new calves. Aren’t they gorgeous?

Flock of deer
Weighing the velvet

  We have a herd of a few hundred deer on the farm.

Every year the deer antlers or horns are removed.

These are called ‘Velvet’

The velvet is weighed, sorted,

   and packed into crates before being sold. 

Velvet packaged and ready to go

Shearing the sheep before the summer comes.

First they are rounded up and held in the shearing pens.

We all help with every part of the process.

 and pack it into the huge wool bales.

Gathering the wool

Our calves are all grown up, they are being sold on. We penned them up and loaded them into the cattle truck.
