Liam Jr. Enjoying Springtime a Little Bit Too Much

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

After having his huge coat shorn last week, little Liam the Icelandic sheep is feeling his oats with the nice spring weather. He is small enough now to crawl under the fence, and get into the horse pasture. He isn’t smart enough to crawl back in at night, though. He was upset that he was separated from his good buddy, Lambchop. I retrieved him, then set about making repairs to keep him in his own paddock with Lambchop. I have a solid farm fence, and one strand of electric fence that was apparently set too high to keep Liam in. So I moved it lower to keep them both away from the fence. Little Liam then got an unpleasant surprise when his nose touched the wire! I won’t have to worry about any more escapes now.
