Sheep love

Sheep love this weather, cool nights and warm days, green grass to graze, they couldn't be happier. Animals can really stress out and their shepherd can too, when the temperature is to high or low, or heavy rain and wind, or storms. This is the most relaxed time of year, after all the lambs are born, everyone is shorn, they spend most of their time grazing and napping under the shade trees. This is a picture most people think of when they think of sheep. Sheep are like people, they go through stress, sickness, getting old and death. But they also have their good times, kicking up their heels and springing on all four feet when they feel frisky, mothering their lambs when they are born, talking to them and nursing them, chewing their cud. Being a part of the herd as a family. They can bond with another sheep in the flock and always with family members. They know each others voice and what that means. It can mean come to me, dinner time, or run. They know their shepherds voice and always come to greet me.
