112%

The percentage rate of bred ewes that we scanned today. Considering that some are bearing twins, and some no lamb, when you average it together its around 112%. I hope that makes sense. Today was a beautiful day. Was real foggy first thing in the morning as you can see from the first photo. That's the sun rising through the fog. The little tent is where the guy running the scanner sits. We run the sheep in there, he scans them, then lets them out two different ways according to whether they have twins, single, or are dry. We did about 1400 today and it took around 3 hours. So they go through pretty fast. If you're wondering what I'm holding in my hand? It's a short section of plastic pipe with a plastic shopping bag tied on the end. You wave/shake it at sheep to get them to move. One more mob to scan tomorrow, then shearing starts September 2nd.
