A very big thank you to all the people who assisted in the feeding of the wethers over the holidays. This job was taken on by both staff and students and is very much appreciated. Thanks to: Ashlee, Lou, Linda, Makayla, Ruby, Charlotte, Callum and Leeza. Many of these people had multiple days and thanks for giving up some of your holiday time to ensure this program runs smoothly.

The wethers prior to the holidays had lost some weight. Thanks to David Talyor who donated some oats, we have been able to increase the grain the sheep are receiving. One of the first jobs after the holidays was to weigh the sheep. I am pleased to say they have all gained weight, with Landcruiser (No. 79) weighing in at 70kgs, way heavier then any of the others. He is now receiving a restricted diet and has been stopped from eating everyones ration.

This term the aim of students is to start tidying the sheep up to have them looking their best for the big day at the end of term.
