@TaraFarms I am not a sheep farmer, however I have watched several and subscribed to a few sheep farmers. I do recall Scotland and England having so much rain this spring and losing a number of lambs. Cammie with his first breed type. Also this husband and wife breeders lost a number of their little ones like you outside breeders. I watch Sandi, who has a barn and is, like me, Canadian we’ve had a period of hot and humid with temps in the 35 + Celsius and a feel like temp of into the 40’s Wear sunscreen!! It’s better to look young when you’re old. than to look old when you’re young. Wear sunscreen !!

You’ve rescued plenty because you care. I’m not sure if you realise just how funny you are. Your dry sense of humour cracks me up . I am sad for you and your family ,your working your guts out to keep farming with little or no thanks. Again I say thank you for farming and keeping Australia fed . I knew you had to have ridden a horse or two ,I used to ride but never owned my own horse , you baby was beautiful and adored you . Horse will only do what they want to and if they trust you.

I used to spend school holidays with my Mum and Dad on a family friend's farm in South Australia. It was one of the highlights of the year for me, and then we were told, "Don't come up, not this year". Didn't find out until years later it was because they were shooting their stock rather than let them starve to death, and they hadn't wanted a child witnessing that (fair enough). It's an unforgiving business farming in Australia. I'm sorry for what you guys are going through.

This is such a harsh reality of caring for livestock. Most people don't even consider this. They just think, "Oh, it must be so great to be able to hang out with all the babies." It's hard work. You prove that in every video. And there are bad times, really bad times, times you just can't forsee or avoid, and living things die. You are just so amazing, and I appreciate you taking the time to share the ups and downs of being a farmer. You've done such hard work to care for the animals in your care. Even if they are meant for meat, you don't treat them like meat or money. You treat them with respect and compassion, and that's a food I can feel good about consuming.

And it's so hard, especially when babies are so fragile. It's hard to help them all. They endure a lot but their bodies are still growing and aren't as resilient as an adult yet, yet so many people want to judge when they're trying to do their best with what they can. People get very emotional when baby animals or cute animals get sick and die, and I do too, but blaming the the owners that do everything they can to help them live is heartless. Everyone wants to think there's gonna be a miracle, and when there isn't, then they get angry. It's sad. I don't work with animals, but my mom has worked as a vet tech and I watch a lot of livestock farmers. There's a lot of struggle and i respect the care they put into the animals

Thought I might add to the "What should I bring to Australia?" thing as an Aussie who has lived in the Urban and Rural areas of Australia, as well as the top and bottom end of our country. - The sunscreen is a must, even if you've got darker skin and don't typically get sunburnt, I'm telling you right now the sun in Australia doesn't care and will give you skin cancer anyway. (Source: My Grandmother who is a dermatologist) - A hat and polarised sunglasses are also a really good bet in the summer. - While malaria is not a thing in Australia, we do have other Mosquito borne diseases, such as Dengue. As well as some home grown favourites like Murray Valley Encephalitis and Ross River Fever. While they're quite rare, I'd definitely second the comment on bug spray. - If you're near the coast, definitely bring your bathers, but for God's sake listen to the life guards. - If you're anywhere near the mountains, bring some good boots and go for hike, it's damn beautiful. Especially in the temperate rainforests of Eastern Victoria, which are my personal favourite. Other than that, we're a modern industrialised country, if you're planning on being here for a while, you can usually get most things here anyway.

@@FrostFall0261 Naaa, can confirm the price is not cheaper (having bought extra in Cairns just to take on a reef trip a few weeks ago). Can’t comment on Aussie sunscreen being more protective; I’m using Korean SPF 50 with PA+++ and haven’t gotten any color, and I just drove from Cairns to Brisbane, among other things - lots of sun. As a whole, I find the Aussie sunscreen to be the sort of thick gloopy stuff no one ever wants to wear, which means people don’t, and burns happen. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Its very rare I comment on things however, I wanted to say thank you for the recent videos. It's been a shit time for you recently but, I think its incredibly important for people to see the reality of raising livestock. Too many people are out of touch with how they get the food on their plate and never think about the struggles someone may have gone through so they could enjoy a good meal. It's rewarding work that also has a tendency to kick you in the gut when you're already down. I will live and die on the hill that farmers care more about animals than any other group of people in the world, and each one of your videos prove that. I wish the best for everyone and everything on the farm. Hope the drought ends soon.

Weather makes or breaks any sort of farming activity. You are doing what you can. Even harder when you are not set up to water what you grow for feeding the sheep or like I know what is happening to Canadian farmers they are being told not to water their crops even though they are barely using their water quotas and are drawing from different sources. Thanks for sharing the reality of farming as most people are too caught up in convenience for their food and clothing.

Completely understand where your coming from. We live about 25 mins from where your P.O box is. This time last year we were sitting on around 375ish mm. This year we are just over 235ish mm. For us to not be in a drought zone, we need to be around or over 400mm. We thankfully dont have any animals ( except pets) but we do have a small vegetable crop which we are starting to notice slowing down due to lack of rain. Hope and pray our parts of Victoria start to see some decent rain soon.

Coming from a stock farming family, I get it. It’s bloody hard to watch your stock slowly decline, it truly hurts the soul but you guys have done a fantastic job finding & attending to the lambs. I hope you get good rain mate. The footage of “teen Tara” with your horse was absolutely precious. Made me smile, remembering our stock horses - thanks for that! Thinking of you all & hoping things turn around very soon🤞🏼🫶🏻

It's not anyone's fault that it hasn't rained. Please don't feel bad or pressured to have good news or happy content. It is sad and unfortunate, but that is just the reality of farming. Love your content and how humble you are. It's obvious that you care, and that's what matters. ❤

Thank you so much for being so real. Most of us have not a clue as to how much farmers really care for their stock. I find the kinds of things you say and how your affected buy your loses are very similar to the nursing community. I wish I could send you rain and feed and help. Ever thought of taking on self contained grey nomads help on the farm for somewhere to park? I think it would help educate the masses.

I am so sorry. This is heartbreaking and shows that no matter how hard you try and how good you do your job, one single component (in this case rain) can have devastating consequences. I hope you get rain soon and the rest of the year works out better for you guys. ❤

Seeing the two of you feeding the babies at the start, with the music playing, idk I just cried. What you do as farmers is amazing and the work you do is so important. I appreciate your hard work, dedication, and care all the way from Ontario, Canada! Hopefully when it rains it will pour. Wishing all the best, Tara!

@TaraFarms here is NZ they have made mental health issues for farmers more known and have organizations to help farmers. Curious whether Ausi does as well? I imagine Farming can be very isolating and stressful. Hope you have a good support network

Love having Liam doing maintenance and making things. It shows how versatile farmers are. And maybe maybe we might learn a thing or two about mending and making things from what we've got around like farmers have done for hundreds of years. Sending you all the rain I can from the south west.

Tara I am so sorry that you all are enduring such a difficult time. You guys are an amazing team of farmers, who are doing great work, making difficult decisions, problem solving, and keeping as many lambs alive as possible. In short, you ALL are doing your best! I will pray for you and for rain. Oh and I think you should get Typo on anyone who says something stupid like why don’t you just water the grass since it’s dying (because they don’t actually watch your videos but decided they needed to comment). ❤
