Sheep bottoms pasture

Most of the goats in this pasture are retirees and a few young does, Pennelope the mini horse, and two Pyrenees dogs, Wag and K. Pennelope gets along great with the goats, loves to nap in a circle with them and the dogs just curl up with them too.These are really K's goats but Wag has decided to leave her sheep and hang out with her.This used to be the sheep pasture but they are at the pond pasture because it is cooler in the summer and the barn is not as weather proof.When I go down and pull a goat out to be shorn K comes all the way to the big barn to find her.She hates for me to take one of her goats, some way some how that dog counts her goats and knows who belongs to her.I spent all morning feeding and dropping out hay, Alex didn't feel well and took a day off, she worked hard all weekend helping with the shearing.Spent the afternoon skirting some of the freshly shorn fleeces,takes a lot longer than you can imagine, hope to get them in the washer soon.
