The sheep finished with the grass in the Mid Pinelands field, so Sunday afternoon we trailed them back to the arch barn area. I called them from the front; Jeffrey followed them to keep them moving. It only took about 20 minutes to walk/run them across the farm. We were both in ATVs, the sheep had to hoof it.
This is a forage end photo with Kratos, Anneika and the sheep in the background. The tall bunches of grass is big bluestem; the sheep ate at its edges, but did not flatten it like they did on the bahia grass.
He we are in the holding pens behind the arch barn.
Early Monday morning, I got up to beat the 95 degree heat expected. Here the sheep are gathered in the alleyway leading to the squeeze tub. While gathered here, I dosed them with fly spray (the flies have been bad), the ran them through the chutes to separate out the rams. The rams, having done their job get to go on vacation now.
