Summer storms....

The Midwest has been bombarded with
severe weather this summer. The sheep are always willing to pitch in and clean up the damage. If only we could teach them to run a chainsaw!Large chunks of trees have been torn down, and we've even had trees uprooted! It seems like we have thunderstorm and tornado warnings every other day.
Lots and lots of wind and rain.

Temps are also fluctuating a lot, with high humidity the norm. So far, the sheep seem to be handling it all in stride. We had a sheep work day on Sunday. CDT shots for lambs, and eye checks for everyone (FAMACHA) Very few sheep needed to be dewormed, which was a good thing, considering this weather that we've had.

Hey Terri, I know what you mean about the weather! We've had a few days of 'no-rain' here and it feels odd..like where did the rain go? Sorry about all the extra work you have there with the down trees.. looks like the sheep are having a great time with it though!

Wow!! That is a huge tree to loss! I always am sad to see such beautiful trees fall. The sheep are in heaven tho! They can be such good helpers. Glad to hear few of yoursneeded to be dewormed.

The tree never had a chance. It is funny how much sheep and goats like tree leaves and branched.
