<< But the very best part was that they all came into the barn when called for a morsel of grain. Seems like nothing, but it means I have a measure of control, at least over their stomachs! It just seems a big deal, because it's the first step toward making the rest of the land sheep-friendly >> 4 of the ewes slipped by dh yesterday pm as he took them their hay. I heard him calling me. They were grazing in an un-fenced pasture when I stuck my head out to see why he sounded so desperate. I got "the bucket" added some corn and oats. Got their attention that mom had arrived with the goodies. Frisky, the leader ewe came running and the other gals running behind her. Into the winter paddock they came. Thank goodness they know their goody bucket and I'm usually the one that brings that to them, so they associate seeing me with the tasty snack. :-) Merry Christmas Diana =============================================== This message is from the Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
