Such talented friends @boyleanne who can spin the most amazing hanks from raw wool! My beautiful girl 'Baby', who is now a mum really does demonstrate her English Leicester heritage with her wool luster. She loves a bit of sheep massage also ;-) #cloverleafsheep #homespun #handspunyarn #australianwool #corriedale #woolcraft (at Bullengarook, Victoria, Australia)

Ahh farm life. The wool and fur kids coming home. The sheepy girls, who are the show girls for Bendigo sheep and wool show, are coming in for some food. Yes I have pretty good sheep dogs. #cloverleafsheep #farmlife #womeninag #hobbyfarm

Oh they grow up so fast! Baby's first coat LOL. The crew had their coats put on today so the wonderful wool spinners can have nice clean wool tips. #cloverleafsheep #CloverleafCorriedaleStud #womeninag #lovemysheep #farm #hobbyfarm #spinning (at Bullengarook, Victoria, Australia)

So I am learning to knit. A talented friend has set me up with a beginner's 101 pattern. It is a bit wonky but practice makes perfect! I will show the sheep girls in the paddock the finished product with their 'rustic 8 ply' hand spun yarn. Hopefully they might appreciate their donation from last years shearing. :-) #lovemysheep #cloverleafsheep #CloverleafCorriedaleStud #womeninag #handspunyarn #australianwool #australianmade #wool #create #handmade #handmadeisbetter (at Bullengarook, Victoria, Australia)

Oh no the rams busted out! They must have been on a mission to use such force head butting the gate assembly to pull it apart. Time to go the the vet and to buy some prostaglandins so the ewes cycle again.#womeninag #farming #lovemysheep

Thanks Indie Road for a great magazine. I was excited to recieve my subscription in the mail! Mitch the ram loves his pictorial and the other boy's are jealous! (at Bullengarook, Victoria, Australia)

Am finally confident to shear my own sheep! Completed half of my lambs, and the battery ran out on my handypiece! Next round is tomorrow. I think the kids like a bit of a haircut! Merry Christmas!

Babies! October 2017

[cloverleafcorriedalestud-blog]

Poor little lamb broke her leg….dang. With a few tears I took her to the vet. She has an unstable fracture of her joint..a break at the growth plate. She is now called Jess after the vet who spent so much time with her. Fingers crossed the break will heal well and her leg will grow normally.

[cloverleafcorriedalestud-blog]

Little Jess had her cast taken off today (23/10/17). She is a little bow legged and tender, but seems pretty content!

The break on 22/9/17, second xray on 9/10/17 and the cast came off on 23/10/17 (splint cast changed weekly as the was growing quickly).
