After more than a month of watching the habits of the sheep, I am concerned  that our sheep are not concerned  about the cold temperatures we experienced in December.  

This is bad news for the new lambs that will be born in late January and February.

Our sheep have no interest in the shelter of our barn.

The sheep use the doorway as a scratching post and block the other sheep from entering the barn.

Its time to change the routine and feed them in the barn, and only give them access to a much smaller corral.

This will also allow us to separate those early mothers from the later birthing ewes.
