This morning the ewe flock was in rare form. When I opened the fold to usher them into the wooded lot (on the left, below), only Marta and Annabeile cooperated; the rest bounced past the open gate and up the driveway. I shut the gate on Marta and Annabelle and managed to herd Bart, Bonny and Inky back into the fold, where I haltered them and led them to their proper place. After a merry romp, Bramble decided to throw in the towel and walked up to me. The last ewe standing on the
wrong side of the fence?
Sweet saucy Sarai!
She put on quite the rodeo before I finally managed to corner her in the fold, put a halter on her, and lead her, puffing, to join the other sheep.
So that was the AM entertainment. Here is this evening's show:
Our weather is scheduled to change, with a decent chance of measurable snowfall Sunday and/or Monday. I'm hoping it won't be
too cold or slick, because I'm tentatively scheduled to go look at a couple different horses on Sunday!
That's it for today from . . .

I have wondered how moving the sheep from one place to another would be. We have yet to do that. Guess you got your morning exercise! The sunset is beautiful.
Kim, when I start turning them out in a new area, I usually halter several and let the others follow along several times until going there when I open the fold is a habit. But they all know there isn't much graze/browse in the wooded lot (I do hang a hay bag out for them), so they weren't inclined to follow routine this morning!
yeah but you loved each and every moment! and well you should have
-smile-.
Silly sheep! Goats wouldn't have done THAT (cough cough) Tee hee.
beautiful sunset! funny sheep. Good luck on Sunday!
Oh, that does sound familiar. I love a good sheep rodeo! I'm so impressed that you have your camera handy for all these wonderful pictures. Good luck with the horse looking.
Oh, I'm so excited for you. Hope the weather holds for your expedition on Sunday!
Oh god, one of the donks got out a couple of weeks ago and that was quite the hide and seek game too. Took two of us to corner the little scamp.
