Finally the grass is growing to the point where I can let the sheep out to graze soon. Not soon enough for them though! Everyday now they are baaing to let me know they are ready to dive in to this years bounty. It must be torturous for them to stare through the fence at the pasture all day long while not able to get to it!
I hold them in till the ground has firmed up. If they go out when it’s muddy their hooves will tear up the ground and hurt the land and the vegetation. Good things come to those who wait I keep telling them- but their demanding baas are drowning me out. 🙂
