Sugargum Farm is home to two breeds of Stud sheep.....Babydolls and Rare Breed Elliottdales.

The three breeds of sheep you will find on our Farm are Olde English Babydoll Southdowns, Classic Cheviots and Elliottdale sheep. The Babydolls and Cheviots are not actually miniaturised sheep but the heritage or original type of today's modern Southdown and Cheviot, before their sizes were increased for greater meat production. The Elliottdale is Australia's carpet wool breed and is a specialty carpet wool sheep, developed in Tasmania, so the Australian carpet wool industry could manufacture carpets without having to rely on imported wool.

You’re bringing back memories, Ted. We used to drink from the hose when we were kids, and strangely enough we’re still here and healthy!😉😂🩷

I’m very happy to say Miss Toozie is feeling much better these days. She was playing Chasey with another ewe when I walked down today.😊She stopped to come over and say hello, but wasn’t up for pats, and sadly, my pockets were empty. She’s such a pretty girl and always soooo sparkly. 🩷🩷

When the babies decide to go walking with the Shepherdess and end up on the dam wall, the Mumma bellows, “Get back here now!”

When that Mumma is Dottie, we all take notice! 😳😂
She is such a good Mum. 🩷👑

This was the second time in one day she had been separated from Chief, as he earlier decided to go adventuring into the little yard and couldn’t get back. She had to sit and wait and then call us for help, when we got home. 🙄 Chief was quite happy with his yard choice, Dottie was not. 😬😂

Babies will be adventurous, Dottie. 🩷

Our Aussie Bird Watch today, gave us a couple of surprises. It helps when you have the Merlin App. with you, as it identifies them by sound.

The Olive-backed Oriole is apparently early this year and has been calling for days. Today it sounded like two of them, so hopefully they find each other.

The saddest one is the beautiful White-faced Heron. A pair have been nesting here for years. They are often solitary birds but the same pair have been meeting here every year and raising a couple of chicks. This year there has only been one. He/She flies around calling a couple of times a week, checking for the mate. 😢 I hope they find a new mate and return next year.

The Heron is pictured along with a baby Willie Wagtail, just out of the nest. 💚💚💚

Aussie Bird Count Week started today and we had some lovely birds around the farm. Many are nesting at the moment.

We also had some extra helpers, with the new Romney girls coming for a walk. They are so cute, but not very good at counting! 😉😂🩷

Taking Teddy for his run on a beautiful day at the farm today. I love the old trees on the farm and the wildflowers are just starting to bloom, wherever they choose. 💚🌸🌼 The lamb is Sundance having an after brekkie rest in the shade. ❤️
