    I slept in!

    I got dressed in a hurry, put on my heavy boots & went outside to feed the #MudBrothers & their groupies. (The alpacas & the lambs)

    As I was getting the crushed lupins ready, they stood at their gate & gave me the hairy eyeball.

    All except Ozzie, who is pretty deaf & was off eating grass - but he did come running when he saw me moving in with the feed.

    1° Celsius when I fed them.

    We’ve been out & about. More bales of lucerne ordered but we missed today’s delivery.

    So the #MudBrothers are eating carrots & lupins & the #lambs are eating just lupins.

    Things are looking greener in their paddock each day. Thank you rain!

    Another truckload of #lucerne arrived this morning. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

    #Lambs & #alpacas are loving it.

    This morning I fed them some #lucerne & #poppedlupins.

    Just now I gave the #MudBrothers some more carrots (the huge, long ones #Woolies sell as #TheOddBunch. I slice lengthwise & each big carrot becomes 4.) & another bale of lucerne.

    Chaser pictured, eating something like his 12th carrot of the day. So far. (He’s ignoring the newest bale of lucerne & hoping for more #carrots.)

    I just returned from feeding the #MudBrothers & the #lambs.

    As I came through the gate they rushed towards me - normal.

    Ozzie (the older, white #alpaca) then spotted I had a bucket of crushed lupins on me.

    He reared up on his hind legs & then head butted my shoulder! Not normal.

    I’m not that stable on my legs at the best of times & his head butt sent me into the fence.

    Woke this morning with my left leg twisted under me.

    As a result of awkward sleeping, my left knee is giving me hell again.

    I took some pain meds & was waiting for them to kick in when the neighbour’s kids & their visiting friends (school holidays) asked if they could feed the #lambs & #alpacas. 🤗

    I’d already cut up a couple of kilos of carrots for the alpacas, so the kids were very excited about hand feeding the #MudBrothers & the lambs got to feed on the crushed lupins.

    The #alpacas & #lambs this chilly morning.

    I’m guessing the #MudBrothers have been eyeing off that new truckload of #lucerne since it arrived yesterday. So I tried to frame them with it as I walked towards them.

    The #MudBrothers got lucerne bricks & carrots while the #Wiltipoll twins got cracked lupins & lucerne bricks.

    The #MudBrothers & #Wiltipoll #lambs were fed & watered earlier.

    There’s still so much #thistle out there!

    The transplanted to potting mix bags #JerusalemArtichoke didn’t like the 35° #Celsius we eventually got to yesterday.

    This morning they’ve been given a good soaking & are starting to recover.

    It might hit 37° or 38° today, so I’ll check through the day.

    The #Mudbrothers & the #Wiltipoll #lambs water troughs both went down around 5 inches overnight!

    Troughs have been topped up & the #alpacas & #sheep have been fed.

    The town’s #CFA #fire #siren went earlier, but I think it’s just a drill.

    Very #overcast - promised rains didn’t arrive again though.

    The #MudBrothers were given carrots just now, which is why Chaser is so close to me in this pic. #alpacas

    #Wiltipoll #lambs & the #MudBrothers have been fed & watered.

    I spread 8 bricks around the paddock just in case the #alpacas tried to keep the bricks to themselves.

    I haven’t seen them do this, but just in case.

    Then, coming into the front yard, I lost my balance & fell into a rose bush!

    Sigh.

    The #Wiltipoll walked over to the #mudbrothers

    The sheep seem to think the alpacas are just big sheep - while the alpacas have come to the conclusion that these new beasts are harmless. 🤗

    I hung waaaaay back so I wouldn’t get Chaser all defensive.

    Very blurry long range phone pics.

    The #MudBrothers are hanging back. Unsure of the new beasts.👍

    I had to top up the #MudBrothers water this morning.

    Their trough was down 5 or 6 inches from yesterday, which was a mild day.

    I suspect Chaser has been soaking in the trough again & displacing the water.

    Chaser is the one looking at me in this morning’s pic. #alpacas

    I wonder what the #MudBrothers make of the new “sheep trough”?

    It’s longer than their trough, but not as high. Definitely made for sheep & marketed as such.

    I’d bet $5 that Chaser had a go at sitting in it last night.

    *Chaser treats the water trough as a bath when it gets really hot. Ozzie hasn’t ever shown any interest in trying out soaking when it’s hot.

    Yesterday evening I checked on the #MudBrothers #water.

    They had gone through half their water in a day!

    I topped it up & will monitor it again during the day.

    In other water #trough news - I purchased a new trough from New South Wales!

    It should be shipping this week.

    My efforts to get an old bath tub came to naught. While there were a lot available they were all “pickup only” & our little Subaru is not built for moving large items. 😞 (apart from me & the Mrs) 😄

    When you have to wake up the #alpacas to feed them, you know they are enjoying the cool shade of the trees.

    I’m very tempted to take a whistle with me at feed times. #MudBrothers

    Doh! The #MudBrothers were having a lucerne-athon! That’s what caught their attention.

    Strum the harp strings! I’m having a flashback…

    #Christmas2024

    My better half will be travelling interstate to meet & celebrate with sick, elderly rellies.

    I’m #notreligious, so no #decorations. No #cards on display either ‘coz nobody sends me cards.

    My rellies are scattered (mostly around QLD) & don’t know me at all. At family funerals they’d whisper “who’s he?” & point at me, an olive complexion in a sea of redheads.

    So Christmas for me will be a quiet time streaming vids, trying to keep cool & looking after the #MudBrothers. 🙂

    It’s very odd. The plovers live out the back with the #MudBrothers & are very protective of their chicks.

    No sign of any other #plover at all. Just this one #chick.

    My #choko looks good, it’s growing very fast now that things have warmed up.

    The white lacy looking stuff on it? Bits of #alpaca fleece still blowing around the yard after the #MudBrothers shearing.

    They woke as I left.

    The #MudBrothers will require watching in tomorrow’s forecasted heat - 31° Celsius.

    Water will need to be watched & maybe changed regularly, as Chaser has a habit of using their water trough as a pool when he gets hot.
