We are finding the sheep a most interesting study. Most of the time, they will come when a bucket of feed is rattled. But not always. They are finding plenty of forage – grass and acorns – to feed on, so they aren’t at all hungry most of the time.
We’ve named 4 of the 7 ewes. (Is that a sign?) One of them – Patches (because she has small brown spots on her cheeks below her ears) will come and stick her head in the bucket I’m carrying, and will take feed from my hand. The others aren’t so bold, and one – Eve – will run if you look at her.
It’s definitely a different experience.
