From devastating drought conditions in 2008, to water as far as we could see.

Although it had dried off, the amount of dry feed and green bush shows how much better 2009 was than 2008.

Just before Christmas we classed the ewes to determine 2010’s joining groups.

In October 2009 all sheep on Keri-Keri were shorn.

Each year a family of Tawny Frogmouths raise their new young here at home. Just delightful.

Even though we had a much better season in 2009, the ongoing effects of drought can be seen by the state of this centrally located paddock on “Keri-Keri”.

Finally in April of 2009 we had decent rains.

In April our main shearing of all sheep on the property took place.

All rams, including the rams for this year’s sale, were shorn.

For the 2008 calendar year Keri-Keri had the driest winter on record.
