Sheeps and Goats

Sampson is finally getting to work. We had been waiting to put him in with the sheep because Penny can be really mean and we were afraid she would hurt him with her horns.

The sheep weren't really sure about him. They don't let him get too close, but they also follow him when they think something is going on, they just leave a cushion between them.

We moved the sheep this morning. Four hours later they are back in the play area. I had used Dad's truck on Monday to get some hay (to extend the life of each pasture). We stacked all of that hay on the bottom level of the kids tower. We had hope that this would keep the hay from being messed up and keep it usable longer (the sheep like to spread it around and potty in it and lay in it, then they don't eat it).
I guess that didn't work too well

Penny's daughter Snowflake made the stack her bed.

Very cool what you guys are doing out there. I said to mom, "who'd have thought we'd have another generation of farmers" in the family. You must've gotten the bug one of those summers you spent on our farm! :) Keep up the hard work, it looks like Tanner's carrying the better part of the load, very cute. Take care - love, ruthie
