All in a Days Work

It's early morning at the Bowie's house in Pongaroa, having looked in Bruce's gun cupboard someone was up early bagging some game for the evening meal.

Meanwhile the rest of us were out mustering sheep so that. they could be drenched.
Chris was in his element as the sheep were sent up the race for him to administer the treatment.

Meanwhile I was trying my best to catch 4 black face sheep in a mob of 425 and then carry them to another yard! It's not easy I ended up wrestling with one on the floor. I had him but how do you stand up without letting him go?

We finished at 4.30 and it was time for a beer and a most enjoyable one it was too. I don't know quite how much use we were but we all really enjoyed the day. Even if I did get the quad stuck in a creek and our herding skills weren't great.
Thank heavens for Stubbs, Jazz and Tangy we couldn't have done it without them.
They are dogs by the way.

What about dinner I hear you say, well we ate well that night thanks to........

We all ate well and the beers flowed.
