24.01.2022 Testing out the new @te_pariAUS G20 auto drench gun, linked into @sapientech1 KoolCollect database, and @Tru_Test weigh head and stick reader. Working well. Saves on drench and data handling (time!!). Love it.

24.01.2022 12 shots of coffee consumed, poddy lambs / dogs / cat fed, ewes gone round, @AdvantageFeeder checked and cuddle supervision underway. More coffee required.

23.01.2022 Found another old star picket. Found it with the front tyre of the quad instead of the bottom of my boot this time. FFS

22.01.2022 Should be able to get those posts in the ground after this. Might actually get the yards finished.

22.01.2022 Couple of handy early ram lambs.

21.01.2022 Could be a bit of rain in that

21.01.2022 A never ending project

21.01.2022 A tranquil way to enjoy my morning coffee.

20.01.2022 Post and end assembly holes in for the laneway and two bigger holding yards. Slight change in plans for one side of the laneway after the cutter gave up and started polishing clay.

20.01.2022 Yards finally starting to take shape. Looking forward to getting them finished and the ags down as were all sick of working in the muck.

19.01.2022 Thunder Hill 9/19. Trait leader, excellent raw figures, impressive & well linked pedigree. OB cert / MN3V. Proud sire. On sale via Aust Dorset Championship sale @AuctionsPlus 5th Sept 1pm.

19.01.2022 We never forget the fallen. A day to be a proud Aussie and remember. #LestWeForget

18.01.2022 New bit of kit turned up today. @te_pariAUS

18.01.2022 A few more hectares of @BarenbrugAUS Meat Master on the way

17.01.2022 Finally found (by stepping on it) the reason for the popped quad bike tyres. Bastard of a thing.

17.01.2022 Thunder Hill 21/19 Bismarck (L) & 9/19 (R). Photographed in paddock condition. ASBV trait leaders backed by impressive raw data and pedigrees, fully vaccinated & MN3V/OB cert. To be offered at the Aust Dorset Championship @AuctionsPlus sale 5/9.

17.01.2022 The reason why we dont eat outside much. Cheeky maremma.

17.01.2022 Day 140. The lad and I have had a big day. Girls weighted and drafted into lambing mobs, quick final udder check, and motivational speeches have been given. Bit of final fencing and lick feeder work to be done and were all set. Bring on #lambing2020

17.01.2022 Steadily getting better every year.

16.01.2022 Never ending bloody project this.

16.01.2022 #lambing2020 has officially started. Ram lamb sired by Bundara Downs 180/17 (AI) out first. 144 days gestation. Just need to get the other 2 lambs out of her safely.

15.01.2022 New @geteero wireless mesh network finally set up in the shed and yards. Not bad speeds either. There was also no swearing, very simply install.

13.01.2022 Thunder Hill 31/19. Ultra clean and quiet sire. ASBV trait leader with excellent raw figures. Impressive pedigree. Live stream inspection available. For sale - Australisan Dorset Sale via AuctionsPlus 5th Sept 1pm.

12.01.2022 We lost one of our best mates last Friday, and our biggest asset in fox attack prevention. Spent Thursday next to him in the yards trying to get him right, but no good unfortunately. Gutted by losing Ryder.

12.01.2022 Not a bad day for a bit of pasture work

12.01.2022 Love the temperament on Ted (Derrynock 61/17). His progeny are the same. Big, robust and quiet animals that just mooch around and love a scratch in the paddock. Makes life a lot easier.

11.01.2022 1/17 Lucky - Thunder Hill born and a brilliant mum. Bit rough last night, so she headed for the nearest shelter to have her lambs. She also kept the adopted lamb she acquired a day or so ago. Happy I didnt put her on the truck a few years ago.

10.01.2022 Bit of depth in the sale rams this year.

10.01.2022 Thunder Hill 09/31. Clean lines, depth and style. ASBV trait leadership & excellent raw data. Quiet temperament. Excellent feed conversion WWT 47kgs+ PWWT 67kgs+. Adult weight approx. 120-130kgs. MN3V / OB cert. Paddock condition. Aust Dorset Sale 5/9 1pm via @AuctionsPlus

10.01.2022 Anyone making this type of thing in Aust? 3 way draft weigh crate with clear access from the top for drenching / Vac etc?

09.01.2022 A few new little girls to add to the brood

09.01.2022 Started the long process of cleaning up the gully this week. Losing a lot of productive land to it, and we’re going to have huge erosion problems if we don’t get the ground cover sorted (thanks for the ongoing support @BarenbrugAUS). A long process ahead.

09.01.2022 Weatherboards, what a mundane time consuming pain in the ass. But it’s done. Wife’s potting shed is on its way.

09.01.2022 A few of this years sale rams taking a dander down the hill.

08.01.2022 Finally getting back onto the yards. Posts laid out for one of the two larger yards and laneway. Just hope it isn’t too hard to get the auger in.

07.01.2022 Well that’s gone round us. Bugger.

06.01.2022 Thunder Hill will be offering live ram inspections via Zoom or FaceTime by appointment leading up to Australisan Dorset Sale via @AuctionsPlus 5th Sept. Thanks to those already booking times , greatly appreciated.

05.01.2022 The swankiest pair of work boots Ive ever bought. 150 yr limited edition @BlundstoneAU . The maremmas are getting no where near these bad boys.

04.01.2022 My view for the last few days (rain suspended play on building the new yards). Make a gate, make a gate and make a gate, its sunny, shit - hangs gates, hang gates! Its raining again, make a gate, make a gate yadda yadda yadda

04.01.2022 BIG ARSE! Thunder Hill 190021 Bismarck. ASBV Trait leader with raw data and pedigree to back it up. Thumping big lad, with the temperament of Mother Teresa. Available via Dorset Championship @AuctionsPlus sale 5th Sept.

02.01.2022 For last year's words belong to last year's language, and next year's words await another voice T.S Eliot. Find your voice for 2021. Happy New Year to our clients, partners, supporters, friends, family and mentors - bring on 2021.

02.01.2022 Some of the early lambs coming up well. Taking full advantage of our mild winter with good growth. Handy set of twins and single in there.

02.01.2022 When one is relaxing by the pool with a Greg Norman, but one still needs to check the troughs. My aerial photography still needs some work.

02.01.2022 Rather happy I moved lambing back a month

01.01.2022 End of a long day.

01.01.2022 Daughter, son, mum and Great grandmother. Nothing like helping out the new generation with the kids.

01.01.2022 Angus wanted to wash the trailer. I was fairly sure he would get wetter than the trailer, unfortunately Dad got wetter than the trailer and him combined. Little bugger.
