Getting dry...you did well selling some lambs away.
Georgia driving is gonna be helpful 😊
Been selling fat lambs at £130-140/hd which is good for January.

I would be happy with that money even if it was in NZ dollars.

Really hot eh! I have been having the well pump on to keep our water tank for the garden topped up. Having to water the garden every second night. Regards to you all.

Always enjoy your videos from wales,do you spread lime/fertilizer up on the hill country where the cows are grazing?is the water usually deliverd with a water ram?not enough water to run the ram ,thats why you have to use the petrol pump?.😊

[@kiwifarmernz]

We do spread fert on the hills , just not at the moment with the prices the way they are. We tried a ram type pump but not enough flow or to much head . Best bet would be gravity for the winter and solar pump for the summer

[@brendont1082]

Hi Alistair great video just wondering do you have a rain tank on the hill house if not just wondering if you you put one in to use for stock water and more so in a dry year

[@kiwifarmernz]

The hill house and airstrip water is stored on the airstrip for weed spraying, fire fighting and can be used for stock water if needed.
