We have our pasture divided into eight paddocks, so that we can rotate the sheep, keeping the soil healthy and keeping new plants regenerating. Gene is the one who lets the flock into each paddock as we rotate, and they know it! Whenever he steps outside the house, they holler at him, hoping he is coming to open a gate. The lambs haven't quite caught on to the routine. It didn't take them long to figure it out, though. A few days ago we opened up a section of pasture that is adjacent to the lambing shed. The plants in there had grown taller than usual. Some of the sheep got swallowed up in the green. Here's Tehya and ? Tucker and Twain, I think. Look at the horn growth already on Tucker!! This time of year it is wonderful to watch the sheep enjoy their natural activity: grazing.
