Yesterday we took the rams out of the ewe flock and combined the younger ewe lambs (the less than 85 lb group, too small to breed) into the main group. This morning we moved the flock out to a paddock in the oaktree field. I've set up five 5-acre paddocks that we will rotate the sheep through.
Odin, the newest member of the guardian crew, helped move them along.
Of course he had help from Hero, Heidi, Whitie, Jackie, Jeffrey and me.
We all arrived and the sheep spread out to start eating.
The next step is setting up accommodations. I brought out a water tub and the minerals feeder. Then used the pallet lifter and the Gater to bring out the housing for Hero and Heidi. They've been hanging out on the porch while the sheep were up near the house. It's time to get them back to work with the sheep out on the frontier.
Of course possession is a large part of home ownership. Sometimes it's necessary to drive off squatters.
