Hi
Did get them to come up the hill - they had warm oatmeal and there feed- took video but had a lot more food then shown - They still have that area unfrozen!
They did walk up the hill they were afraid to follow me -they seemed scared because never walk in that area - 3 people will be helping me try to rescue them - they all look good - but tomorrow will be even colder -

The water under the bridge may freeze tonight with temps so low.

Sure hope you all can get them inside and safe.
They look good.

Hi
Thank you and thanks for you concern
I will keep you posted

Do they like treats? Mine will go after peas - it is the way I can get them quickly from one place to another.

I tried the treats but because when the walk up they are scares because they never walked in this area and it is right next to rail road large rocks also

Hopefully having friends to help herd them in just remind everyone it all has to be done very slowly and if you can give everyone long sticks or poles to help herd that is helpful too. Once you get them in then reward with food and treats. And only feed and give treats close to where your going to put them. Inside a fenced area if possible.

Hi
I know they must have been herded before maybe abused because if I even pick a broom they start crying and herding I think
I was thinking I have a wide plastic rake

If I put it behind them maybe it will work
If they see strangers it is hard to get them out
Hopefully it is just about 3 blocks we have to go
