size matters

Well in the case of space for outruns that is. I decided to remove my small pen and enlarge my field area. I used the fencing from the pen to continue fencing off my property line and I only need about 80' more to finish it off. There is a few strands of barbwire that was there when I bought the place so I can now keep the sheep and goats out there for the day without them getting loose. Walter the wether goat is the only one who likes to explore anyway and he doesn't go far if he does get out.

The telephone pole marked the corner of my small pen which was 60' X 60'. I called it a rectangular pen and I said that to Vergil one day that my pen was rectangular and he said how can it be rectangular if its 60' x 60'? Well he got me there but I swear it did look like a rectangle instead of a square! 

I had to leave a barrier up by the telephone pole wires so the sheep/dogs don't get hurt running into them. So I took some of the scrap house siding and made little panels out of them. 

This is the only escape route now. This tree fell last month onto my property. It's about 20' in and smashed down the barbwire fencing there. I need to remove it and the brush and bushes around it so I can finish fencing. I'm just glad it came down before I finished my fencing.

The sheep are liking the larger area. Not much left to graze on but they are finding something.

This is my ram lamb. I hope he's done a good job with my ewes. I should have lambs beginning of March. He's Dorper/Katahdin

I haven't been able to use my good (and I use the term loosely) camera since June. I lost my battery charger and regular batteries only last about 2 pictures for some reason. I finally got one the other day and found pictures I hadn't uploaded to my computer, from June. Everything was so green then! These were taken on the closed golf course behind my house where I go walking almost everyday.

I need to find someone with a good enough dog to hold sheep for me out here so I can do some good outruns with Crue. He can only go about 75yrds on my little piece of land. Out here on the golf course we can go 400 +yds or more. Not that he's ready for that yet, but he is doing really well. He's started driving a bit also and is really listening to me.

I like this picture of my dogs walking on the golf course trail.

I can hardly wait till spring again!
