The photos below were sent to me last night by my farming brother in Western Australia. They've had 6mm of rain for the month of June. There should be green grass in the paddocks and crops growing. Paddocks were mostly dry seeded in the hope it would rain. It breaks my heart. The sheep are currently on a diet of barley and hay.
Can you imagine feeding triplets in such conditions?
Truly sad! Saying prayers that they get rain soon.
ReplyDeleteThe life of a farmer is such a hard one. Don't know how they do it.
ReplyDeleteIt must be such a hard life, day in and day out.
ReplyDeleteAll around the globe it is either drought or too much rain. I hope these animals and the farmers where your brother lives can get the much needed rain soon.
ReplyDeletePoor little lambs, I hope there is some more rain coming soon, surely!
ReplyDeleteI hope they get some rain soon..

It's such a distressing scene Anne.
ReplyDeleteOur farmers lost loads of sheep this last winter due to them getting trapped in snow drifts. It is so hard for farmers to deal with extremes of weather.
Hope western Australia gets some much needed rainfall very soon.

I'm always moaning about how much rain we get here in Scotland, but looking at those pictures, perhaps I shouldn't.

Hey Anne, it is a heartbreaking occupation at times.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping there's rain on the way to top up the tanks and dams as well...
