Sheep lined up

Almost washed away yesterday, a full day of heavy,blowing rain. It was a beautiful morning afterward.And guess what, all the sheep and goats were lined up ready to eat.They spent most of Sunday in the barns and were waiting for me to come out. The sheep in this band are BFL,Cormo-BFL cross and 1  Cotswold ewe, Jewell. The sunlight dances on their wool.I love the BFL wool, but they do not take the humidity well and are not very parasite hardy.Cormo sheep are better about it, but I don't know if they can take all this rain without getting wool rot.Cormo wool is packed so tightly maybe the rain is not absorbed, live and learn.
