Micky & Mini’s story

Micky & Mini – Power

Updated May 2, 2023

Only moments into our care, two little orphan lambs named Micky and Mini, without words, began to tell us about themselves.

Micky, stoically brave, although at his tender age it was more bluff than bravado, held his ground, while his timid sibling Mini took cover behind her big brother. Mini’s squinting left eye and pleading face pulled at our heartstrings and told us she had fared worse when deprived of her mother’s tender love and breast milk.

Passing away some days before for reasons unknown, their mumma’s lifeless body was still the refuge to which the tiny two continued to retreat. Nudging her frantically with all their might and strongest of will, nothing in their power was going to summon her to life.

Such a tragic tale is one that unfurls all too often at this time of year. A dear ewe’s illness goes unseen, and her pain and suffering untreated, leaving behind a legacy of rotting remains and many a confused and vulnerable orphan at this, the most inhospitable time of the year.

Such an act of human benevolence, choosing not to look the other way, reminds us all of the incredible power we have to improve the world for others

Yet every now and then, hope is found in these unlikely places, and lambs like Micky and Mini find sanctuary and do not become a statistic. Such an act of human benevolence, choosing not to look the other way, reminds us all of the incredible power we have to improve the world for others.

For this truly is our human superpower, best played out by simply being kind.

Ann, a sweet little doe-eyed heifer calf was recently spotted on our morning rounds. She was huddled in a tight ball in our tree plantation line, which separates this property from the next.

“Can someone please help me out I have a full grown female goat wanting to give away but marketplace won’t allow me to post…free of charge”.

Dust bathing for the first time in her 73-week life is Katie. Her “sister”, Kayla, eagerly watching on as her blind friend kicks dirt every which way.

When the cheeky young goat we have named Purr broke his leg in a remote community, things were looking grim.

Amazing us all just recently was the arrival of four teeny tiny turkeys: Cornelius, Tofurkey, Curious George and Cheerio.

Planting the seeds of kindness were the sweet natures of Hawthorn, Poppy and Tulip, young sheep who touched the heart of a kindly pound worker.

From this moment to the next, we grow and change. Yet we stay who we are. We are shaped by our experiences but not defined by them.
