They grow the wool that keeps us warm in the clothing that we wear, The food on our plate,the grain and milk for our cereal and bread and so many many other products.
This is a site I love to come across moving of the stock from one paddock to the next paddock. Driving though a couple hundred head these photos don't do the real site justice as there were many many more you just can't see them all but I hope next time you put that jumper on put butter on your bread slice up that meat you give the farmer a oi on ya mate. The sounds I was hearing and the sites I was seeing were true blue fair dinkum Aussie IMO
From the Burs baa and bleeps to the dust off the road kicking up as they ran down the road some would stop at the fence line and have a yarn with other sheep in paddocks.Some of the young ones tried to suck from there mum but did not succeed as they had to keep moving. There was a farmer on the road in his ute and there was one in the paddocks on his bike I did not see a dog but somehow after I drove though them I could see where they were heading to another paddock and open gate they just all seemed to know where they were going how ever I did not know where I was going as I just think as I am driving mmm what is down there so if I can I follow it to see where it takes me if I can.
Most of these shots were taking one handed as the other hand was on the steering wheel and using the other eye open on the sheep some were taking from my side car windows so not easy driving and shooting at the same time

The last one was just as they were heading off the road into there new paddock where I am sure the lambs could now get there feed as well.
