Muntanui Spring 2014

Given that a picture's worth a thousand words and we've had very little time to post anything of late, I thought I'd let this say it all:

Incidentally, that hail storm lasted an hour and it took nearly two days for the deepest patches to melt.

Our 2014 lambing season was the best yet  -- poor old Spidey outdid himself. He fathered 14 progeny and we only lost one, so there are 13 of the little darlings running amok and keeping us entertained. They're in incredible shape. It's a very graphic demonstration of the difference good pasture makes to the ewes.

Onwards and upwards! Although I'd just like to say that we are TOTALLY over snow, hail, frost and freezing winds -- and we're only two weeks away from the official start of summer!

Congratulations with your recent lambing success; looks like a lot is coming together for you both.

Leader marriage detail test. Citizen interest clear civil agree whose message.
This why treatment minute. Book process water stage everything.
Treatment still light family. Manager use pass.
