Merino ewes cluster tightly in steel livestock yards, their dense, creamy-white wool gleaming under a cloudless blue sky. A seasoned farmer stands with his back to the camera, surveying the flock across verdant pastures of the New South Wales tablelands. The sturdy steel gates and yards of the Proway system contain the woolly mob, creating a controlled environment for weaning lambs from their mothers. Mature ewes with thick, robust fleeces press against each other, their nervous energy palpable in the confined space, while younger lambs huddle close to the protective mass of adult sheep. Rolling green paddocks stretch to distant tree lines, capturing the expansive agricultural landscape typical of inland farming regions. The scene epitomizes the precision and care of modern Australian sheep husbandry - a delicate balance of animal management, landscape, and generational agricultural expertise.
