Title - Maria’s passion for lambing Tags - sapstory storyevent
Sonography isn’t my only passion.
Even though I chose healthcare over farming as a career, I still get to express my inner country-bumpkin once a year when I take two weeks off to help my family with lambing.
I’m pretty sure most people would think I’m crazy to work long days and nights - in the freezing cold - when I’m “off work”.
But for me, there’s nothing like being outside in the fresh winter air, or the smell of the lambing shed, or driving around the fields to check on the sheep.
As dad says - it’s a way of life. One that has stuck with me for all this time.
It’s also a reminder of the values I learnt on the farm - and in a loving family home - and a reminder of how fortunate I am to have a wonderful career helping human mommies bring their babies into the world.
