Sunlight bathes a lush Riverina pasture in soft morning light, revealing a robust First Cross ewe surrounded by her energetic lambs. The mature ewe stands vigilantly amid her offspring, her rich tan-colored fleece contrasting against the vibrant emerald grasslands. Young lambs cluster around her, their woolly coats ranging from cream to light tan, each moving with the tentative curiosity of early spring. In the background, a distant herd grazes peacefully beneath scattered trees, creating a layered pastoral landscape typical of New South Wales agricultural country. The scene captures the essence of lambing season - a moment of nurturing, growth, and regeneration on a thriving sheep property. These First Cross lambs, a strategic breeding result combining maternal hardiness with meat quality, represent the sophisticated genetic management of modern Australian livestock farming.
