It all went smooth this morning, moved the sheep to the bottom pasture, the does at the bottom to the side pasture, and the does at the side pasture to the pond pasture. Everyone was ready for a fresh pasture so they all cooperated with us. I moved the younger does into the big barn to be shorn first, their mohair is longer and better quality, than the older does, so I will start on them, hopefully tomorrow. I don't like to shear too early in the spring because the mohair will grow fast and they will be hot again by August. It helps moving go smoothly when there is a bottle baby in the herd. They always follow me, their mama, and the rest of the flock trails behind, my reasoning for keeping all the annoying bottle raised kids. |
