Snow on standing crop and a 1010 wobble box?

We were at a meeting last winter and they did talk of copper deficiency and toxicity. It was extremely interesting, because few talk about deficiency of cu in sheep.

Just reading we don’t have scrapie in aust.
The abortion there is a vaccine for it here but it only in high rainfall areas.
Copper deficiency happens called steely wool affects wool production rather than sheep itself.

Seems we have it easy producing sheep and wool really don’t have any of the above issues except price volatility in meat and particularly wool prices.

Oh heat shearing last week peaked out at 38 c about 45c plus in shearing shed a tad warm

These globull warmists need to spend a day outside like the rest of us. That will change their minds quick.

I'm trying to soil sample... it's the shits. Pea stubble already has 3-4" of frost in it. Have to pack a generator and a 5/8" heavy duty drill to get into it. Supposed to be -17 here tonight. I expect I'll be doing the rest with the drill. I doubt 4" of frost will leave till spring now.
