movin on out
after one week in the first two patches by the gardens, the sheep are on to the last patch. This one is a bit spottier, lower grass, more clover, and some sedges, perhaps 2 days in there at max, will be moving across the path tomorrow I hope. Lil Boy is kind of chubby at the moment, body score of 4, Jett is right around 3. I have been looking over my objectives for this study and at the moment I think Im most of the way there. I have gained more skill in the art of sheep body scoring, and in the process kept my fuzzy babies good and healthy. I have come to know far more then the original 12 pasture plants, and am still working on collecting the nutritional data for them. That will be included in my "final post" for the semester as well as any notes I have taken regarding my observation of my sheep and how they graze. Those are my 3 primary objectives. I have the list of plants, I just need to match their info to their pictures and that will be it, due by Friday the 10th at 8 am.
