On Wednesday it was calm and windless. Normally - I would say 75% of the year - wind is blowing mostly from the west, sometimes hot winds from the north, rarely from the east and this makes some noise. But on Wednesday it was absolutely quiet outside. Except of the sheep in the west of my property. They were making so much noise the whole day long. Crying in all different pitches. It really hurts in my ears. In the evening when I walked the dogs I met the farmer and asked him what was going on. He told me that they had 'mulesing' the lambs. I asked myself what they are doing with the tails. When I went on I got the answer.



A ute load of tails and approx. 10 dead lambs (I assume collateral damage) dumped at the dry creek.
