I am so worried about my sheep right now. I am sitting in the ER at my local hospital with no way to know how my sheep are. My cameras are down so I can’t stalk them. With them escaping lots now we have no way to know if they are in there pen, my back yard, the woods, or at a nearby farm!

MOST of the time, they do not like to leave "known". If only 1 of them gets out, they usually stay nearby then ones still fenced.

While I'm sure you're concerned, I think they'll be ok when you get back. You'll want to scold them but, won't help 🥴🤣

lately we have been having coyotes right in our backyard. There has been multipal occasions where we have found dog poop right next to or in the sheep pen. There is a possibility that it could be one of our dogs but there have been coyotes howling at night lately.

Oh man-I hope whatever reason you are at the ER is resolved :(. Will you guys ever get livestock Guardian dogs to protect your sheep from predators? Do update us when you get home!!
