Opportunistic Feeders

Sheep are opportunistic feeders.  I  eventually put them where they were supposed to go this morning, into a South Field paddock that was ready for grazing.

Zeus is with them again since being in the chick barn during the tropical storm that came through with about 5 inches of rain for us.

The storm caused some big branches to fall out of trees onto the fence.  In this case the breach in the fence led into the east bahia field, which had a good growth of white flowering buckwheat.  However, the peas, beans and millet were not yet mature enough for grazing.  That did not bother the sheep, they went right in and took advantage of the opportunity. 

I called them and they did come out and go where they were supposed to be, although slowly.
