Taking a deep breath and having a desperately needed cuddle with Lila after stage one of the work audit - that causes me so much anxiety I could die, yes that may sound dramatic, yes it is my third audit, no it doesn’t get easier each time, for the greater good……………………………. 😅

Hi my name is Nikolai, I like to take long walks on the beach, perching at night, star gazing, I like getting dirty with a good old dirt bath and I’m looking for someone to share that with me, are you out there?

(Full disclosure Nikolai has multiple ladies and is quite content but clearly a player - you’ve been warned).

Beautiful Terri is still such a shy girl, it’s hard watching the slow bond build between the cows, we wish we could run out there and make them all become good friends, but we know this takes time and there’s nothing we can do but wait and watch 🩷

Tonight's episode is a bit different - a trip down memory lane - 4 years ago when we packed up and moved to the farm and remembering my brother.

Welcome back to another episode. Today’s episode is a very special one… a little heavier, a little softer, and filled with love. It’s been two years since we...

2 years ago yesterday my brother Anthony passed away, there is such a huge feeling of loss and sadness leading up to this time, it is all consuming, so I thought I would channel these feelings this year and take a trip down memory lane and share a little about my brother and show the journey from the suburbs to the sanctuary that we made 4 years ago through our latest YouTube video

This sign I made to honour Anth has been placed at the sheep paddock, as Anth came to visit once and took videos of himself interviewing the sheep, those animals are here now whilst he is not…
Anth had his Pengy toy his whole life, and he loved playing hacky sack and Aki was his gaming name, he really loved his gaming!

Check in later or subscribe to our channel on YouTube to watch the video which will be released later this evening ~ Farmer Deb.

Arthur is such a cool customer, due to having contracted tendons in his front legs it was going to be difficult to move him to the site where shearing took place, so farmer Deb decided to do this herself, bit by bit with a pair of scissors - he loved it!!
