A weeks' work

Now that the sun has returned it is time. Started with shearing and hoof trimming a few does that I missed last fall due to the early cold weather. Then everyone was rounded up to be wormed and deloused. Later in the week the remaining sheep were rounded up and after two days all were shorn, wormed, and deloused. Only two bred ewes left to shear, just waiting on a little more length to their locks. Next is the Teaberry shuffle, move the sheep to the horse pasture, bring the horses home to the sheep pastures to vaccum the sheep parasites that will be hatching soon, move all the does out to pasture and leave the bred does and ewes in the front lambing barn and pasture. It will take many days of planning and moving. It is time.
