Down at the barn Mikey hears me call, "Sheeeep, here sheeep." He is always the first to come thinking he is going to get a treat!
Flora, resting in the shrubs this warm day decides to join... but maybe not...but sees Noelle ambling up with Mikey.
Noelle and Mikey realize they are going to the green pasture. The area around the barn has been nibbled to nubs so they are going out to the stockpiled fescue, red clover, and landino clover pasture. There is also browse for them along the meadow edges.
Mikey, of course was the first to get into the knee deep grasses however....
.....the rest did not lag behind! Herding this trio is not difficult. Just show them food and they will follow.
See how the great grazing has help the sheep produce fantastic fleece!
This is Mikey's long-stapled white locks...
....and Noelle's creamy brown that deepens into dark chocolate.! I am looking forward to working with the wool this winter.
