Temporary electric net fencing is a godsend for dividing the pasture into paddocks for rotational grazing.  Here we've set up a temporary paddock outside the perimeter fencing so that the bio-mowers - the wethers and some of the yearlings - can help us maintain part of the barnyard.  After spending the day out in the barnyard, they are brought back into the barn at night.

Good Fences - Early Morning

A good fence and a couple of good guardian dogs keep the flock safe from harm.

The white picket fence seems to go on and on as you drive by.  White fence... green grass... so summery!  Happy Fence Friday!

Friday's Fences

Looking back a couple of weeks, at the intersection of permanent and temporary fencing, the sheep come to water, salt and minerals.  They love to watch the wild turkeys pecking and scratching on the other side.

Pumpkin on a sunny afternoon stroll... headed to the woods for what probably turned out to be a little afternoon hunt.

We're loving the long, thin shadows of winter... when we've been lucky enough to see a little glimpse of the sun :)

A Friday ritual.

A single photo - no words - capturing a single moment from the week

A simple, special extraordinary moment.

A moment to pause, savor and remember.

As usual, there is great interest in what is going on... on the other side of the fence.

Most of the time on the farm, when you are set on a task, you are blessed with lots of help and companionship.  Taking photos for Friday's Fences was no exception.  Muffy led the way, looking for just the right combination of fence and foliage.

Finally... she decided... ok... this is just right.

Forgive us for continuing to share the same fence-line, but this view never gets old... it is forever-changing... with the farm schedule... with the seasons
