It has been such a wet period recently that we have had to move a majority of the sheep into the barn. The fields are so wet at the moment that this will help to prevent foot rot and other problems with the sheep's hooves. The Tuesday volunteers helped Spencer prepare the barn for the sheep last week and then get them inside the barn. This week we were busy putting more straw bedding down on the floor for them. The cattle are on the opposite side of the barn in a separate enclosure. Spencer always keeps the cattle in the barn for a few months over the winter for the main purpose of collecting their manure.
