Getting Ready for the Show
Picture
We have decided to bite the bullet this year and take sheep to the Royal Easter Show in Sydney. After showing our sheep at a few of the small local shows it seemed it was time to stop mucking about and get on with the job. So where better to start than the biggest show around.

The paperwork has been sent off and the show team selected. Not a full team for every catagory, but a start. The sheep are now penned so we can start feeding them and getting them used to being handled. We have had to improvise as we don't have a suitable shed near the house and a festive marquee has been pressed into service providing shelter.Next weekend the training will begin in earnest - teaching sheep to lead. I'm not too worried about the young sheep, but the older ram is big and strong with a mind of his own, at this stage I'm not sure who will win.

I think Blackadder will be a bit of a problem! ;)

Go you guys :) Sounds like a great adventure - are sheep hard to train?
