On Saturday Jeffrey and I separated the lambs from the spring ewe flock. The weaned lambs stayed in the blueberry fields on ryegrass and feed. The ewes were moved, eventually to the south beaver field to dry their udders eating hay and ryegrass stubble. It took until Sunday evening to get them back there. Since the alleyways are not all fully developed, we had to move them across the middle field, but they did not want to leave from the vicinity of the lambs. We left them. They got hungry and started wandering around through the woods, then on Sunday evening they heard us delivering hay to the feeders and came themselves into the proper field. All is well. Kratos is on guard duty.
This is a picture of the weaned lambs in holding pen 3.
