We got to Cuyuac farm last Tuesday and started working on Wednesday. The farmer here has plenty of work for us to do, so he is keeping us very busy. We have been doing quite a bit of fencing and had to weigh many many sheep. Early next week a big truck will come and pick up around 350 lambs that are being sold to supermarkets. We weight them and drafted them to sell only the heavier ones. Drafting sheep depending on their weigh is not only done to sell the better ones, but also so the farmer can put them in different paddocks depending on how much feed they need or to get a rough idea on how good the sheep are doing in a certain paddock.
Pictures coming soon. :)
