Summer at Avington

The summer of 2019 was very different to 2020. In 2019 the rainfall in January–February was 39mm. In 2020 the rainfall in January–February was 190mm, plus a further 80mm so far in March.

Last year we were feeding out hay and grain at this time, now we have green pasture growing. The sheep are in great condition and are not as stressed by heat as they were last year.

We are looking forward to increasing our stock numbers later this year, and to a successful lambing season in May/June, followed by shearing in October.
