This is fun!
I set it up to record all day for the next video.
Here is yesterday with kitty included.
I had to move sheep, hay blocks them from being smart and going to the far feeders. 🙄

Edit.
I typed Patchie, then second guessed myself. Dumb.
Now editing because I was right!
I love how I know my sheep!!

I wish I had internet out at my farm. I would totally set up a deer feeder to go off a few times a day with hay pellets in it so the horses would come down in front of the camera a few times a day. I've thought about getting one of the ones that generates it's own internet through a phone plan but haven't fully researched that yet.

Green is exit doorway for shorn rams.
Red is exit for shorn ewes. Fully open to yard, has food, hopefully, they won't want to come back to shearing area.
Orange is holding area for most ewes.
Blue is a double gate, so I can get the next ewe ready in line w/o fighting a gate and sheep and hoping not to loose any, lol.

Area for rams to wait to be shorn.
I'll have all the rams done first and moved out.
Then, I'll have Kibito & Majin shorn & fleeces bagged. Then the rest can be shorn, fleeces tossed.

Really wish I had a proper sheep alley & holding pen. But oh well...

After, literal, noon shearing. First time not having to wake up at the crack of dawn!! :yesss:
I can't properly express just how much I hate mornings! I'm basically a zombie for a few hours afterwards, don't even eat. Have to choke something down if I'm going on a day trip.
Mornings are dumb! Lol
