Cool & overcast

A sheep was out this morning before coffee; fortunately, any time around feeding time, sheep tend to be easier to lure into their enclosures with the aid of alfalfa. The rest of the day was quiet as far as animals are concerned up until their evening feeding time, when four lambs were out of the mixed pasture, and three or four ewes and one lamb were out of the ewe pasture. Alfalfa is sometimes a farmer's best friend.

We did a phone interview for a pair of livestock guardian dogs in need of adoption; they'll be calling our vet for a reference and then speaking with the shelter they're fostering the dogs for and we'll see how it works out. Here's hoping.
