Got 2 Southdown sheep today - lack of hay victims

[Royd Wood]

Two beautiful ewes from a lovley place but they are so short of hay (just like us but I will scrape through)
Robbie the Romney ram got all excited and got down to neck nibbling straight off the bat - any lambs will be terminal but thats ok

In the back of the Dodge Grand animal shipper

a few of the flock wander over

Welcome to your new world and a life with Robbie

Congratulations on your lovely new sheep!!!!! Up until last year, any sheep we bought were transported in the back of our minivan with one of us back there petting it/them, giving treats and it worked well...had a strong tarp on the floor for any poops or pees, but they never did that while riding. We built a a transport cage last year that fits in our trailer and that works great and no longer do one of us have to sit back there. Minivan worked just fine...just too hard though when bringing one to the processor...something about loving on them and having them look in your eyes with their lovely soft trusting eyes that killed us. Still not easy, but better than the close contact on their way to freezer camp.

Hope you find plenty of hay!!!!!

Oh the sheep are adorable! They would be on my no cull list for sure, since they are so CUTE! Congratulations on your acquisition.

OOH! Congratulations! And yes your pasture looks in way better condition than ours!

LOL! I remember picking up our first bottle calf in the back of our mini van - WAY back when! What a mess - he "squit" everywhere. It was certainly a stinky ride home.
