Change of plans

Decided to shear the flock of sheep that live at the pond pasture since they are getting hay and are ready to shear. Squirt's flock still has grass to graze so we'll get them next.When I bring them home to shear they will have to stay here where there is shelter, but no grass.Hay is hard to find now, all my local sources are out.It's been a hard winter and most farmers have been feeding their livestock all the hay they can eat to help keep them warm.Most animals in this area don't have shelter other than a wind break of trees or low lying land.I know it's rough when the sheep are in the lower side of the pond pasture, they have shelter but prefer to tough it out most of the time.Goats love a barn and couldn't make it in cold wet weather without one.Goats are like chickens, they come home to roost just before dark.There are 12 Cormo-BFL lambs in the group to be shorn tomorrow, the rest are BFL , BFL-Cotswold, and Cormo, it will take two shearing days to get them all, and another to get the last group.
