This is my passenger I had last week...........mum was down lambing...........got her up and standing then she wanted to run away from her baby...........so we threw mum in the back of the ute and baby in the front and brought them home...........
over night in the yards together and all was well.........here they are a few days later..........
last week Boy Wonder and I had to do some cattle work......Mr Chookyblue was away...........
Yes he is taller then my little ute I was in........in the end we got the other bulls in but this one was left in the paddock..........I wasn't taking him on and we were running out of time............i'm sure if Mr Chooky was here he would have just walked in for him............
Checking some cows.......yep this is the back end of Curly Pops
I feel like i'm sitting on the ground driving around in it..............lol...........i haven't driven it for about 8 years...........bit of a fix up of the gear box and a few other minor repairs shes running well again.........
all kinds of jobs are being done...........with the new independence of driving everywhere...........
"just got to go fix that fence", "just going to check this, check that......"
any excuse to go driving............one advantage of being a farm kid............driving all around the farm......
9mls last night..........just keeping everything damp which is great..........bring on the green...............
Catch you later
Chookyblue

Love the independence farm kids have when they can drive! I hope you're making him pay for the fuel! I bet less jobs get done then!! *wink wink*
I love reading all about your adventures on the farm, Chooky - it's almost as good as being there (without having to do the hard yakka!) Glad you've had some rain and gladder still that the ewe bonded with her baby and that your boy is enjoying everyday life on the farm. Keep smiling. x
Always lots for you to do on the farm. Hmm!! don't know about the checking out the back end of Curly Pops...Guess it has to be done..
Great Boy Wonder has his own ute now...
Hi chooky that little lamb is so cute,glad his mum accepted him,sounds like bookworm is having a lot of fun driving around the farm,and I am so pleased that you got some rain ,hope you have a lovely evening.xx
Glad your ute is a Brumby, that would be a big bull if you were in a 4wd! Don't the kids just love driving. My son is on his P's now and it's very handy indeed.
You are amazing Chooky - all the things you have to do on the farm and never bat an eyelid
Chooky how beautiful is that little baby - glad he is back with his mum. Don't you love it when they get their license and you can throw those "L" plates away.
The farming life is just the best for our kids - they grow up with a totally different set of values and respect for others and their property. I loved it when my kids started driving the farm vehicles - more time for me at home!!
Love following your adventures. The dear little lamb....thank you for blogging!
a fun post reading about the farm....

Such a nice ending to the story of the lamb. And I'm with you - I would have left that bull to Mr Chooky too! LOL
Ohhhh poor curly pops the indignity of it all and on the World Wide Web. However congratulations old girl. The wonderful joy and freedom of 4 wheels enjoy Wonder Boy.
Congrats to Curly pops! Glad Mum and lambkins are reunited. A big milestone driving off in your own ute.
That lamb is so cute!! Good to hear Mum is happy to be with it now. OMG!! That bull is HUGE! I would not have been in the paddock with it!! 'Scaredy' city person me!! Good to hear there is rain happening...so good for Boy Wonder..I can remember that feeling of independence when I could drive! Congrats to Curly Pops!!
I am glad the ewe took back her lamb! So I am guessing you had a good pregnancy test? Hope all is well.

You're busy as usual with all sorts of goings on. Boy Wonder will have great fun with the Brumby. They are such tough little work horses. Glad you didn't end up with a poddy lamb this time and yes, the nuisance things like bulls not going where you want only happen when the boss isn't around.
The joys of being a farmer; you certainly get your hands dirty (thank heavens for long gloves)! Pleased lamb and mum are doing well. Go boy wonder in the ute. Can't beat a country life xx
So glad there was a happy ending for the little lamb and his mom! How fun that your son is learning to drive. That is a big step in life. So glad you left the bull where he was! Also glad to hear there has been some rain!
