As a novice shepherd I'm wondering the best way to go with this:
We have a couple of large fields, nicely stock fenced, and each field has a small sheep shelter in it. Away from the fields we also have an ex open sided (one side) cow barn that has an area fenced off within (using sheep hurdles) 'just in case'.
My question is, unless it snows (?) would the sheep do better outside or brought in? If brought in, when and until when?
Call me soft but I'm concerned about rain, wind (we get a lot of that), and wet feet.
Thanks for any pointers.
