Video: Online Sheep Auction & Trying To Get Sheep Fed!

It's time for some new Dorset breeding rams at Ewetopia Farms, so we head to the Morinville Colony online sheep auction to see what they have available. We show you what is involved with bidding online and what a "race horse" finish looks like.

The following days are spent trying to get our sheep fed. We are totally out of hay at the moment so we are getting by with feeding the sheep some old hay supplemented with grain, sharing pastures with the various sheep groups, and working hard to get hay cut between rain showers. Not easy!
