Coming home

The sheep were ready to come back to the home pasture. I just opened the gate and they ran to the house, stopping along the way to eat a bite of grass. Jewell was not leading them as she is too old to venture far from her small pasture. But, she taught these girls well. I think she has passed the baton to Midnight. There is always a leader sheep and when the leader passes on usually one of her daughters becomes the new leader. Since her daughters are so young I think Midnight became the leader. With goats there is always a boss goat, she is usually mean and butts all the other does into submission. A lot of people that have goats want to get rid of the boss doe, got news for you, another doe will take her place. Maybe goats need a boss and sheep need a leader.
