Guard Sheep







Something was awry about midnight last night. The new little wether was crying and all the sheep were at attention. He had a very full belly so wasn't hungry; and he was acting very spooked.

Shining the floodlight into the side pasture where we have the cows, they had formed a protective circle...what was going on?

Then I heard Merry Kate's daughter "talking" to a new little calf she had just delivered and cleaning it off! Come to find out this morning, it is a healthy dark red bull calf. The cows have been moved back into the pasture that has woven wire where they should stay until the fresh guy can get back and forth with them.

Alrighty then...Merry Kate and 2 goats to go (Milly and Hot Cocoa) and we'll be done with our special deliveries for the year! It should be within the week and definitely by end of the month.
