Naughty Ewes

There's something wrong with this picture.


I bet you think there is nothing wrong, that it is a nice tranquil photo of sheep grazing in a hilly pasture.  Wrong.  That is my horse's pasture trying to grow so that the horse's will have some grass over the summer; and that's my sheep and goats in the horse pasture where they don't belong or are allowed.  I spent most of the day chasing the little ones out.  My replacement older ewes stayed out of the horse's pasture but I think that is because they are too big and fat to fit under the fence whereas my much smaller ewes squeeze through.  If I don't get these girls contained properly, I will be forced to have no other choice but to pen them indoors, in a stall.  Not at all what I want to do.
