<< I love my sheep. Their needs are so simple, and I've officially surpassed a financial investment in meeting those needs that will never be recovered in selling them.

Dh has had to take over much of the feeding/watering, but whenever I am able it's my chore and I love it. The sheep know their shepherdess. Even, when I go no further than the deck to watch them they come running to the fence and talk to me. (baaah) We still have alot of fencing to put up. We want to fence a total of ~5acres of our land. A cougar was caught on video tape 2 counties from us, but thus far the only critters in our immediate area are foxes and bobcats. Bears have been sighted several miles from here. I just hope when lambs start getting born that it doesn't draw these bigger animals to our place. Diana in NC Sadder note...... Ram-Ram is enroute to be butchered. Wish we hadn't gotten so attached to him. That's the downfall of a small flock. The upside is we'll be eating natural based meat that we know has not been hormone-ized and loaded with antibiotics ......who knows what else. =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
