Slug is her own independant woman. 😂

Not me straight up sobbing about the fact that the lamb got a mom and the mom got a lamb 😭😭

Was very happy that worked, honestly didn't except it to but the primelines are so much better.

It's my birthday and I came home after the waterpark and a stand-up comedy evening and watched a mom wothout a lamb and a lamb without a mom be united forming a new beautiful little family. What a wonderful ending to my awesome day! ❤❤❤

One little comment "the trick is not to touch them too much" and it all made sense why sheep farmers all pick up new lambs the way they do. 👍👍

It’s tough being a farmer, Wishing you all the rain you need and appreciation for everything you do

[@TaraFarms]

Thank you, hope we get some meaningful rain soon. Might be getting a little bit tomorrow at this stage.

Fingers and toes crossed. And keep warm its bloody cold here in the home of the Cats ……….. Magpie supporter.

Such a dad thing to say, If you can catch the lamb you can keep it!!! Meanwhile he knows youll be chasing the the lamb forever and never catch it 😂😂😂😂😂

Keeps them from nagging for a pet AND wears them out! 😂

I love how slug just looks like your work mate on the way to the office, checked out and fully in her own world. Just missing a pot of coffee between her paws.

Oh goodness, that primeline foster mom. She’s glaring at all the other sheep all “my child is PERFECT I do NOT know what you are talking about, s/he looks just like their daddy. Mind your own business!” 😂

[@raraavis7782]

'That's my story and I'm sticking to it!' attitude 😅

[@helmaschine1885]

Amazing that you managed to switch a lamb in the middle of a huge paddock. Your attentiveness saved both of them an yourselves a lot of midnight bottle feedings❤❤

[@Ali-mv3jc]

I love how you talk to the sheep "who's fuckin lamb are you?" Reminds me of my grandma, she grew up on my families farm in south asia and she speaks about animals the same way haha.

[@greggleblom]

I still think you should start calling your TED talks Tara talks. I'm certainly going to start calling them that 😂

That drone footage of moving the sheep! *chef's kiss*

[@hywodena]

I've met a lot of farmers who are quite experienced but are too focused on doing things the way they were taught my their mentors rather than focusing on what is proven to work. Don't get me wrong, your mentors certainly have good reasons for why they did things the way they did them, but that doesn't make them correct, especially not for a changing world. I appreciate seeing a large scale farmer who really really uses actual evidence based care. You certainly learned a hell of a lot from your parents but it's obvious you and your parents have been following the latest research and adapting your care as needed.. within the context of your farm. Absolutely excellent, and I swear every video I respect you and your family even more. You are an inspiration.

[@gggthsb]

I love when fostering works because it's awesome for the lamb but I think it's just so heartwarming for a mom that lost it's baby to get something to love ❤❤

[@laurabailey6051]

I love the fact that you don't have a verbal filter. I watch you and Sandi Brock. 2 different types of sheep raising that show how much you care. Thank you for your vids.

[@roylec]

I’m in awe of Tara’s dad. I’m hugely proud of her and I’m not even related. Great job Mr Tara.

[@mrayb007]

From Canada... I really like your take no shit attitude towards the 'know it all' commenters. Your videos always make me laugh, " No i'm not a kiwi. I do not have feathers". Have a great day eh!.

[@sarademattie963]

Hey Tara, for what it’s worth from an internet stranger, I think you’re very knowledgeable farmer who prioritizes the flock health over everything else. You are strong and fuckin brilliant and I think you and Slug are doing a great job. Praying for some rain to moisten the Slug’s land.

[@SkylarFontaine]

The adoptive mother of the dumped lamb is so cute!! What a lovely face :3

[@changing-the-world]

Well done on the switch 😂. That's a good mum.

[@denisemurphy3915]

Wow, your treatment of that first prolapse, and explaining and showing everything was amazing, also that you didn't freak out, and remained calm, and your homemade upcycled harness worked a treat. Yep, really not the same after any childbirth, that's why do many physios in women's health have C-sections. All the best for some more rain mate, I think I did see a small dam there that was almost full. Keep spreading the melanoma prevention message.

[@georgiasumby6092]

We’re going to be pelted with rain here in the west over the next week here in the west. I wish I could bottle most of it and send it to you. Wishing you all the rain and wet weather in the world.

Thanks for showing the whole prolapse process, it was very educational. Congratulations on the milk warmer! The instruction manual was hilarious, they printed the most important think with huge capital letters right on the cover because they know that some people read nothing else.

Im just impressed that you can tell the sheep apart. I would never know who was who.

[@zo_471]

Thank you for the weekly cow update 🐮

[@Yrathus]

You actually care about your sheep, I love that. I know about sheep who are out in an enclosure all day with no shade at all and the weather tends to get extremely hot (a sheep lost its wool because of the heat and it’s skin is kind of burnt on its back, lots of flies on the skin, it hurts see that). Lots of lambs died in winter because they weren’t drinking and weren’t put in a warm place, or whatever. Who am I to judge, I’m not a shepherd. I’m just sorry for them even though they’re just destined to be meat. And the farmer has other things to do, certainly. Love your videos, you show you care for them and do everything you can in order for them to be safe.

[@Toby3610]

The good news, the bad news and the annoying news with Tara ❤ I’ve been over in Western Australia (Albany, Denmark, Margret River, Perth). We drove past a lot of farms and saw a lot lambs and mums. No turtles thankfully. We went to a few wineries and they had lambs. It was a bit cute. Until a storm rolled through and a pup called Soot chewed through his collar and must have run 2 or 3 kms to seek shelter at the winery. He had the same markings as Typo. His owners came and got him. They were a bit embarrassed Soot was quite happy chilling at the winery.

[@TaraFarms]

Typo's scared of storms too! She always gets into the bed when there's storms and hides at the bottom of the bed!

When I watch Warragamba spill over and they release the water to go down the Hawkesbury and flood out Richmond, and paddocks and houses are 3 feet under water - I think of you guys. Some great saves on the playing fields with the lambs and mums. And the Nanny will be a blessing to you. Thanks Tara! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@TaraFarms]

I cannot tell you how good that Nanny is. The lambs learn in a day or so how to use it. Primelines seem to be faster at learning. Then I just need to fill, clean and check they've all drank!
