The sheep are fed with barley and lupin from last year’s crop.
It is loaded into the feeder from the silos using an orga as shown below.
Then we drive of to the paddocks to feed the Shaun’s. John (my neighbor) helps by opening the gates and pointing directions to me.
Once we have located the sheep and tooted the horn, the mob come running towards the Ute (they know its dinner time).
The next photo shows an alpaca amongst one mob of sheep (to the right). These are here to protect the sheep from the foxes. The idea is that they stamp on the ground near the foxes to scare them away. But it doesn't always work. It is not uncommon to see a couple of dead shauns who have been killed by the foxes while out feeding the sheep. And this is despite a couple of fox hunts each month.
While your here don't forget to have a look at my posts from the past couple of days.
