Merino ewes crowd the dusty cattle yards under the golden winter sunlight of rural New South Wales, their woolly bodies pressed together in tight formation. Two experienced farm workers survey the mob, one in a crisp white shirt and the other wearing a bright green top, standing casually amid the sea of livestock. The surrounding landscape unfolds in a classic Australian pastoral scene - emerald green pastures bordered by scattered eucalyptus trees, creating a patchwork of agricultural productivity. Metal sheep yards with precise galvanized railings define the working space, marking this as a critical moment in the seasonal rhythm of livestock management. Shadows stretch long across the packed earth, indicating mid-morning, while the carefully maintained infrastructure speaks to generations of agricultural expertise. The weaning process is underway, a crucial transition for these Merino sheep that will shape the future productivity of the flock, captured with professional precision by Al Mabin's agricultural photography.
