Yarrow

Yarrow is such a sunny, chearful plant. Sunshine the sheep is back to normal, just couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew she wasn't her self. Had to get the flock into the barnyard for a few nights to treat her, so I had to give them some grain. Last night she headed to the lot baaing at me, I knew she would be okay. So no more grain. Sheep do well and can get fat on the fast growing green pasture. The corn in the grain makes them hotter, so it's best to go lean in the summer. The weather today seems to be a drier air with a breeze so the sheep are out grazing more in the daytime. When the humidity gets bad they will lay up in the shade during the day and graze at night. I have had a few sheep to heat stress over the years so I try to keep them as cool as possible.
