Our sheep came home today to the New Bedlam Farm, and they were a major step in bringing the farm to life for us. They took the new pasture – plenty of grass – right away and sniffed around their new home, the skidbarn. Red got to work herding them through the pasture and Rocky came near the fence to listen. We took a walk with Rocky in the woods, and I shot a video of the move which I will put up tomorrow morning. It’s a great place for sheep and a big move towards us feeling it is our home. I am always honing my animal management skills, but this is a great place for sheep and they can be separated from the other animals, or the whole pasture can be opened up for grazing. The new farm is taking shape.
