A skilled farmhand administers a Glanvac vaccine to young lambs during the winter season in South Australia's verdant pastures. Dressed in a navy work jacket and cap, the worker carefully handles each lamb in the marking process, ensuring their health and protection against common livestock diseases. The lush green paddock provides a stark contrast to the typical dry conditions of a drought year, creating what locals call a "green drought" - a temporary respite of grassland abundance. Stainless steel marking equipment and vaccine containers stand ready, while a mob of woolly lambs huddles in nearby portable yards, their soft grey and white fleeces blending with the pastoral landscape. The scene captures the meticulous care and precision of modern agricultural practice, where animal health and welfare are paramount. Rows of eucalyptus trees frame the background, offering a quintessential Australian agricultural landscape that speaks to generations of pastoral farming expertise.
