We had to take three ewes over to the ram today. Lisa got them cut out and loaded, the video shows how. We set up the sheep panels inside the chain link to make a holding area for transitioning to the back yard. Once they were in the yard she just led them to the trailer. Having tame animals makes life a lot simpler.
Bess, Tilly and Molly are the ewes.
They would follow Lisa anywhere.
Especially if she has a bucket.
They follow her even when she doesn’t have a bucket.
You never know when a bucket might appear.
They jumped right in.
They did get to finish off the bucket for their troubles. They’ll be with the ram for about a month. They went to Edith’s but the ram is going to another farm to breed some ewes so that farmer is going to take ours ewes along to stay with the ram. We’ll have to go to that farm to get them. They use dogs for herding so that will make it easy to corral them and fun to watch.
The song behind the video is Altiyan Childs, Somewhere in the World. He's Australian.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the video! Good song too.
ReplyDeleteI loved the video too! I hope you are going film the dogs herding the sheep when they are ready to come home.
