This afternoon someone left the shed door open... 🐑🐑🐑

The expedition inside was led by Jack the magnificent who clearly knew exactly where he was going. Mother followed — too sensible for this sort of thing, but apparently not sensible enough to turn around and with Milo in tow. Tim and Ropey joined in with no clear plan beyond being involved.

What followed was a very productive few minutes. Jack worked methodically through a bale of lucerne with the focused calm of the patriarch he is. Mother helped herself with quiet efficiency. Milo was everywhere. Tim and Ropey ricocheted around the shed achieving maximum chaos with minimum coordination, somehow eating a remarkable amount in between.

Then, in the mind of the sheep, the largely symbolic shepard went in.

First out was Milo, then Mother and Jack mid chew. Tim and Ropey came flying out last, still mid-chaos, wearing more then they'd eaten.
No regrets from any of them ☘️🐑😉

This is Lazarus. Lazarus is a Border Leicester ram in peak physical condition.
Lazarus is also training for a death scene role in a low-budget movie because at least once a week he flings himself flat on the ground and lies there like a chalk outline.
We have sprinted across paddocks. We have had emotional crises. We have speed dialled the vet.
He is always fine. He has never once been not fine. He just thinks it's funny.

It is not funny, Lazarus 🐑💀

A beautiful event and a great excuse to get out on the long weekend. 🧶🐑

Guess she couldn’t decide between the Tasmanian Kelp or the Himalayan Pink, so she naturally chose... everything.

Today’s Buffet Menu Highlights:

• Selenium Sparkle: Applied liberally to the left nostril.
• Calcium Crust: A bold choice for the bridge of the snout.
• Salt Lick Shimmer: Distributed evenly across her entire face.

She’s now 20% wool, 30% attitude, and 50% mineral deposits.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association stall at the Southern Highlands Woolfest in Mittagong and supported our Silver Cedar fleeces and products. Every fleece and roving that found a new home is going straight back into the farm, and right now that means putting together a mineral buffet for our flock heading into winter. Good nutrition through the colder months makes a real difference to our sheep and you've helped make that possible. Thank you. 🐑

Life has a way of filling up fast! Work and family commitments mean the Silver Cedar Farm shop is taking a back seat for 2026 — but behind the scenes, the farm is very much alive. We're quietly getting on with the renewal work and working toward our goal of producing fleece and yarn from the ground up.
In the meantime, we're so grateful to the Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association for giving us a way to share some of what we have — you'll find a little of Silver Cedar Farm at their stall at Southern Highlands Woolfest, Mittagong, on April 19th 🐑🌿

When you're trying to do farm work but your 40kg fleece-covered toddlers have other plans.
10/10 would recommend Shropshire ownership if you enjoy being aggressively loved by something that looks like a cloud with legs and has zero concept of personal space.

BREAKING: Local sheep refuses to acknowledge he is, in fact, a sheep 👑

Prince Theodore has once again proven he's one of the main characters on this farm. During today's muster, His Royal Woolliness decided the other sheep's behaviour was "beneath him" and instead glued himself to his favourite human like a 40kg shadow.

The problem? Every. Single. Sheep. in the flock is apparently part of Prince Theodore's fan club. The moment we'd get them moving toward the yards, they'd spot him vibing with his human and immediately U-turn back like "wait, where's Theo going? 🤔"

After the third failed attempt, we admitted defeat. Prince Theodore received a personal chauffeur service in the ute while the other sheep walked. He spent the entire ride looking smug through the window.

Living his best life. Zero regrets. 100% would disrupt farm operations again.
