Winter Feeding

We've settled into our winter routine here on the farm.  Luckily this winter has been fairly mild so far and even when its cold its much easier to feed without snow!  Though It doesn't quite feel like winter without it!

Roy loves getting to come along in the morning when I feed the sheep.

I took these photos this morning when I went out to feed. I go out early (Liz works at the school so we get up bright and early!) and feed hay to the sheep in our hayfield. During the year we rotate the sheep through our pastures but in winter they are kept in the pastures closest to the house and barn - particularly as we get close to lambing!  That's when we need them close so we can keep an eye on everyone.
