@greybeard I feel that way also. The paddock we are working on now has a gate at all 4 corners but it is either feeding into other fields or into the lane that goes all the way around on the outside like the first picture.

The last picture is our view out of the bedroom window every morning. That area is where they get any feed but the only sheep that are getting feed right now is the spotted one and her lambs. I guess the rest have to keep hoping.

We moved the tilt table and handling chute down by the side of the shop.

Bummer, passive cooling is a good thing. Doesn't work too well if you can't open the windows when the temp drops.

I love that spotted ewe. :love You sure do have some beautiful grass. I have serious grass envy. :D =D

She is becoming one of my favorites. It's funny that they seem to segregate themselves from the rest of the flock. They will be in the general vicinity but they are more often off by themselves. They aren't nearly as skittish as the other sheep.

I got the last fence section finished and still need to go back and double check all the wire wraps tomorrow. I also got 3 of the 4 gates hung and will do the 4th in the morning. All that is left is the top hot wire and ground wire since I put on all of the insulators this afternoon after it cooled down a little. Maisy doesn't show any inclination to go over fences anymore since she has so much more room but we are still looking for another couple of dogs that may.
