The day after we got the sheep all tagged and weighed we came back and put them in their new home. We are sharing a little coral with a few friends who are also doing it. The Gouldings were nice enough to let us all use their facilities. We got on a feeding schedule with everyone else and the kids have to try and walk their lamb every day. We went out and tried our first day with the halter and a walk. I've never laughed so hard in my life. The sheep did not like the halter or being taken out of their pins for a walk. Addison's wouldn't budge it would lay and jump. Brecken got dragged quite a bit and would also lay down. The first day Dean pretty much had to man handle Breckens on the walk, and Addison's didn't make it to far. Grandpa Eves decided he wanted to be included in on this adventure and had been reading up on all things sheep and 4 H. So he told Addison next time they go out give him a call and he will go with them. This should be very entertaining each day to say the least. Hopefully the sheep will get used to this fast.
