November 2020: And not a moment too soon since the weather is really cooling down quickly! The sheep love the weather to stay between 20 and 30. It’s perfect for them when they are so woolie. They are halfway to shearing day so have a lot of fleece to keep them warm. I always think I should knit them some leg warmers. Those skinny little legs always make me cold even though the sheep are fine. They are quite wise about staying warm.
On that note, we have new pens built in the main parts of the old dairy barn. Whee! I am so easily amused right? We found a fellow with some really nice sheep panels he built of sturdy oak. He needed them gone and gave us a great price so home they came! Here is a photo of the big sheep’s new pen. They will be nice and warm with the windows covered. They need a nice dry place to get out of the wind and weather. I love our old buildings. So much history out there.
