5 Total shorn this year = 6267 Sheep left for Otago 2691 6 of that number died before leaving Napier 3576 that ought to be about the number on station after deducting I may say at least 2 1/2 .. 3 percent for losses on the whole which I did not deduct. We had the sheep in today and docked the lambs and I may say we had a very good lambing considering the number of ewes that went away 1150 lambs 590 ewes & 560 wether. Their may be a few more out yet that may make up for losses after docking. Men on station old Archy McLean plowing at his leisure with the bullocks. Two sheepherds one of them drives the bullocks to the plow when not required at sheep.
