@stillwatersfarmtn hunkers down for a week of bitter cold temps and a frozen landscape. #pastureraised #farming #lamb #sheepfarming #shepherd #sheep #snow
So nice to see Ducky. 😊 Gotta love ❤ the barn briefings. We had warm weather on those days, and I am further north than you. 😮 I heard sheep tend to eat more to stay warm in deep cold temps. Yes, we learn and move on from losses and mistakes. Thank you for an update. Miss you all, and your sheep. ♥️🐑♥️ God bless. 🙏🏻♥️
6:55 that little lamb is like "i don't care. i have my milk" 😅 Thank you for the upload and nice to see that you are enduring the cold winter and taking such good care of the sheep. I think it's uncomfortable for short hair sheep (is that the correct term in english?) in winter, depending on the temperature. But you even gave them heat lamps ☺
We call them “hair sheep”. I think they must be less insulated than wool sheep, so it has to have some effect on them. But I think they are still adequately equipped to handle the cold. The wind is what concerns me. As long as they can get out of the wind, I think they can stay warm enough. But, I feel better giving them a heat source with the lamps. It costs us very little to provide it and they do use them so I know it helps. ♥️🐑
