[Jacob-list] sheep tales

[Aaron and Abigail Brown]

Linda,

The first one is a "roar!" Abigail and I enjoyed both of them. In fact, Abigail knew exactly what you were going to say about the sheep riding in the wheelbarrow. We have similar accounts we could share, as I am certain everybody does.

It has been quiet on this list.  I've been saving my sheep tales for a quiet time, so this must be my time to share.

I use one of those green rubbermaid wheelbarrows to carry hay.  I pull rather than push it.  One day about two weeks ago I was pulling the wheelbarrow, loaded with hay, across the sheep pasture on my way to the donkey pasture.  The sheep follow me and grab hay as I go.  It seemed like it was pretty hard to pull, but I was going through the woods so didn't think much of it. When I stopped and turned around - PW Lorraine was riding in the wheelbarrow, happily munching on the hay!

One more - a few days ago the sheep were coming back in to their night pen at feed time.  There was a branch across the gate.  All the sheep either jumped it or plowed through it. My 2000 ewe lamb,  April was the last one and she's kinda short.  She picked up the branch with her mouth and moved it to the side.  I know she was probably just going to take a bite and happened to spit it out of her way. But, it gave me a start!
