Sheep Grazier's Warning

I am hosting an Australian this week and have been watching the weather there, as a matter of hospitality, since talking about Canadian weather, especially things like wind chill and humidex, can be a little, well, dry.
I want the following warning to be widely distributed, just in case you have sheep. There is a "Sheep Grazier's Warning" issued for Southwestern districts of Western Australia. And you thought that a humidex warning was a pushing the weather envelope!
This reminds me of the time there was a "Koala Emergency" on the Monash Freeway in Melbourne last November.

See: The Weatherzone.com.au
Just in case the URL for this expires, the warning reads:

Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology
Western Australia

WARNING FOR SHEEP FARMERS
Issued at 4:55 pm WST on Wednesday, 9 July 2008

Sheep farmers in the Southwest, adjacent Great Southern and South Coastal
districts are warned that with cold, wet and windy conditions are expected to
develop during Thursday and there is a serious risk of sheep or lamb losses.

On a serious weather note, heavy snows, up to 30 cm, have fallen in the Alpine areas of Australia, and skiers are happy once again. Victorian school holidays are currently on and the snow has fallen just in time, as they are over at the end of next week.
