Thunder Hill Estate™️

New sire Lot 4 Estjam 39/20 coming home to Thunder Hill. Nicely structured, great conformation, positive fat, neg WEC, sound feet and loads of meat. Angus has named him ‘Fireball’. Very happy.

@TottingtonTom Yeah fair enough, at least the wheels haven’t come completely off on mine 😂. Just happy the broken fix happened at home rather than 100kms away like the first time.

@thunderhillpd Is see your firewood trailer and raise you a 3 wheeled grain feeder

No more fire wood collect today 🤦

This messmate gum has been down longer than we’ve owned the place, well over 10 years. Still got a lot of good fire wood in it. Definitely need a martini after this.

@AdamRandall83 Either it’s a coincidence the ute battery decided to die at the same time I left the trailer plug in or the new electrics drained the battery somehow. This maybe a point 3!!!!

@thunderhillpd I really like point 2.

Rewired the trailer today. Two things I learnt 1. My hands are too big to make a good auto electrician, 2. Electrics take much longer than previously thought, 2. I don’t have the patience for electrical work, 2. Electrical work sucks.

@NtDrifter Have to be marine grease 🤣

Wonder what sort of grease goes in the wheel bearings?

CIRDs out, Novormon and rams in. See how we go.

@LambproHolbrook Even better when they’re shallow fried in duck fat

The crumbed cutlet is making a food service come back. Every menu needs this.

Ran out of sharp chains while cutting firewood. Bugger hate that. 😄

CIDRs are in for 2025. Back on track!

Cutting firewood in 35 degree heat wasn’t appealing so went fishing over at Blue Rock. One monster bass for the trip. Magnificent morning on the water.

@sheepGeekCP Sounds like boarding school

The faster you can eat, the more you get fed.

@TottingtonTom Hope you’re well old boy. It’s been a while! Did you see the article about Beef? Apparently survived a kidnapping attempt, probably talked them into letting him go over a smoke lol.

@thunderhillpd Hold your head high lad! Most cockies never shear their own lambs. I actually think it’s good for breeders to, at a minimum, turn over and drag out their rams- take some responsibility for the AWT of sheep they breed!

Just finished shearing the last of the rams. No beauty pageants will be won and I need a new body. Slightly broken.

@TottingtonTom You learn a lot by dragging a few out and shearing a few. Focus switches to bringing them down a few frames sizes very quickly, 110kg adult weight is very attractive. I’m not a fan of having to sedate or use machinery to roll them over. Ex cost and time.

@KennedyCreek1 P.S I’ve managed to make it to the front of the shed and found a chair. Been here 30mins contemplating the 50m walk to the house.

@KennedyCreek1 Lol - I’m struggling to regain fitness after breaking my leg last year - old age is fighting back. I tether them like horses. So it’s not too bad till I have to flip them over. The buggers do like leaning on me 🤷🏼

After a shocking 18mths of just about everything going wrong. We’re finally back into routine. Shearing done, last of the lambs off to Sale in the next month, year planned out and being excited. Fingers crossed it continues this way 🤪.

Thank you refs, thank you ball boys - shearing is done for another year.
