Title: My Flock Have arrived!
Post by: Emmett on May 10, 2014, 12:41:12 am

On Wednesday night, I went to the local mart for the sheep sales. We ended up buying 6 nice yearling ewes. 3 pure bred not registered texel ewes, 2 charolais ewes and a nice Suffolk ewe. They have settled in well and are in our back meadow with an abundance of grass! As the sheep were being let into thd field, the goat broke his chain trying to get away from them, so he is now up in the garden happily jumping all over the patio walls and frolicking about! All is good!:)

Thanks everybody :)! Otis the goat has made a new family with the dogs :thumbsup:! And he is now let off his chain to wander about our 3 acre garden and he sleeps in the garage not a bother! He's not a fan of this rain though :raining: :raining: :gloomy: :gloomy:
