Thanks, Debby! Yeah, I thought it was cute she was finding all the leftover hay on the hay trailer. It was a nice view to work at and the helpers and owners were really nice.Yay, you're back! That's a big trailer for one sheepLooks like beautiful countryside.
Hope the weather and vehicles cooperate for the next stage of your shearing jobs. Stay in touch (and take more pictures & videos)!
My sister thought they might be using cattle prods to push the sheep. I never saw them using them and I thought the sheep sat better after the 2nd day, so I'm not sure if that correlated with that or not. Of course I'd rather them not use them, but it doesn't often go over well telling the rancher what to do. They hopefully were just using them as push sticks and not actually turning them on.
It's nice to be here and check in with my own sheep and chickens. We'll be back to work soon enough, weather pending. I'm glad it looks like you and everyone here are well!
