Erlend built a lovely pen for our flock of sheep and now they are indoors until they lamb. Here are some pictures!
This smaller pen is for the ram, the two male lambs and the two yows (ewes) that are only having single lambs. This keeps the yows from over-eating and having big fat lambs.
Here is the rest of the flock in the main pen. 17 of them are having twins and 3 of them are having triplets.
Erlend built a little corral so that the sheep can enjoy fresh air and sunshine! They can freely access the outdoor pen from the main pen.
Here is how the sheep eat their silage: through a feed fence designed in such a way that they cannot use the "deflate and slither" method of escape! (They won't slither *over* a board unless in danger.)
