Hello everyone! We’ve skipped right into summer it seems. It’s around 90 degrees and looks like the temps will be here for a while now. Ugh! We have all the fans turned on for the sheep, llamas, alpacas and horses. They tend to spend most of their daytime hours in the barns to stay cool. The sheep love to be inside the old barn leaning against the stone foundation. Add the fans and it is downright tolerable out there!
Keeping the water tanks clean and full of fresh water is important too. We also have kiddy pools filled up for the alpacas, llamas AND the Pyrs. They all love to splash around to cool off. The alpacas and llamas love a good shower too. Then they all go roll in the dust. Go figure right? I swear they will do ANYthing to ignore my pleas for them to keep their fleeces clean. Good grief! Good thing the only actual rule for the animals here is to live happy and healthy right? I wish the horses enjoyed water as much as the others do. They do like to stand in front of the fans though. It helps keep the flies off their faces!
We have a lot of wool available that will be posting on the sheep’s website soon! If you are interested in a specific fleece, please email the sheep! Smooches from the sheep!
