Sheep Run

The sheep have been conditioned to associate the four wheeler with feeding time. They did get fed earlier, not so much that they need more than they are grazing but we had to get some equipment out of the horse port and they get in the way. 

That’s Ivy out in front. She is the pasture boss. Well, Ivy is the sheep boss, Dolly is the real pasture boss. The running llama is Speedy.

DSCF5558 The lambs are doing well.

DSCF5559 Duane and Randy got banded and their second set of shots today.

DSCF5565 We did some fence work today, no big surprise there. We are fencing off the bridge, the creek downstream will be part of the old sheep pasture. When we get done we can open it up to them again.

 

DSCF5566 It comes out from the fence line, crosses the bridge and then goes back. We are using gates across the bridge that we can open during the floods. There will be a panel across the culvert that we can raise.
