For the first time in years, the farmer The Jones has something to smile after a wave of generosity saved his hungry sheep crowd from a certain death.
The Sunday Telegraph reported yesterday that the farmer NSW this month fired his 1200 merino sheep and the lambs then bury them in a mbad grave on his barren farm.
Skeletal sheep are not strong enough to send to the market but Mr. Jones could not afford to feed them, making mbad shooting the only option.
Jones' farm seems to have succumbed to the driest 14-month drought since records began in 1900, until a flood of donations turned the tide in a few hours on Sunday morning.
Aussie Farmers Charity Helpers Founder Brian Egan said the phone rings in the ears of readers.
"Our donations have gone insane and they will no longer have to shoot sheep.We will have three barley road trains for Goolhi farmers within 10 days," said Egan.
The Jones' wife, Laura, was stuck on the phone on Sunday. "I cried a thousand tears of joy this morning, you would have thought I would have flooded our barren farm," says Mrs. Jones.
"I do not remember I felt so overwhelmed with joy and humiliation
" I just wish the government and the big banks intervened before the public came to our rescue. "
Mrs. Jones's Christmas wish was new carpets at her home, to replace existing floors that had been badly soiled by abandoned lambs, the family kept inside to survive.
