Sometimes grazing checks don’t go as planned. I simply went to refill water….
🌿 but because they had very little green left (certainly enough to get through the night) and their current spot was directly next to a busy county road, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them so I made the decision to move them.
🐝 we knew their next area had a spot with ground bees and we thought we took care of the issue (after a few stings and running wild swatting at the air) but unfortunately there was still about 20-30 swarming the area. So I decided instead of risking the animals getting stung I would fence the area - and pray I didn’t get stung in the process.
🧑🏻🌾 I needed to rearrange some fencing so the solar charge had good connection which meant moving the solar charger and strategically moving fencing without the herd getting out since they were already moved to the new grazing spot.
🐑 then on the final pass to make sure all fencing was connected, no loose spots and the “don’t touch” signs were in their correct places I noticed a lamb that didn’t look quite right. So after some checking and a very easy catch (which means something is definitely off) I picked her up, put her in the back of my truck and took her to Wooly Green Grazers | Sheep Grazing Residential & Commercial for a health check.
It’s not always roses, it’s not always easy (even though we make it look like it on social media) and it doesn’t always go as planned. But we do it anyways. All in a days work. 💪💛
