[QUOTE="Keren, post: 455770, member: 3195"] We got 8 ml of rain . . . and what annoys me is in the papers and on the radio they are saying "The Riverina recieved a welcome soaking over the weekend, with 4 ml recorded". Since when has 4 ml been considered a soaking :?: :?: :?: Honestly some people are CLUELESS! Now that I've vented . . . I've got babies :D I got two sets of twins yesterday, a buck and a doe in each, with not many problems. One doe has a large teat on one side that the kids cant get on to, so I am having to milk that out to prevent mastitis, teat damage etc. Hopefully if I do that for a few days they will be able to drink from it. I dont want to have to do it for the whole time. Other than that, they are all good. Now I'm just waiting on the maiden to kid. Mick's sale apparently went very well. I didnt make it but from all accounts the show gear went for double and triple the price of new equipment :shock: and the cattle went for extreme prices too. Good on him. Off the Albury show tomorrow, they have cancelled the stud section this year :mad: and are only holding the all breeds heifer show and the commercial section. We were so annoyed we would have liked not to go, but the cow (Tingle) was Supreme last year and she is still eligible this year so we wanted to bring her back and thought we would bring a few more. So we have a team of 6 and a half entered. That should be enough to keep me busy. On the down side, we lost another foal at work. First was snakebite, second was very prem. And in total we have lost 7 kids to our 'mystery abortion' and two does. But on the upside, the abortions seem to have stopped and we have had five does kid successfully in the past week or two.
