When I look at the photo of cute lambs, I want to hug them 🤗 I watched a few youtube videos about sheep hoof care and I was very stressed🥺 In the content I watched when the sheep were standing, they were lifting their feet one by one and cutting their hooves. It seemed tiring and difficult, both for the animal and for the person trying to contain it. The technique you use seems more comfortable. Either way, it's obviously tiring. If I were there to help, my best task would be to fondle the scared and stressed sheep on the head and try to calm them down 😊
Knowing that they are happy and healthy after the procedure must be the greatest peace of mind 🌸
Yes, the lambs are heartbreakingly cute.... 🥰
But you know what I've said many times before? The lambs are just very cute - baby effect. But I almost prefer the adult sheep (don't have to make a decision), because they have character, charisma - each one individually.
The moment when the sheep are tipped, of course, stresses them. But then their "fight" is over, they lie very still and the shepherd can work calmly and concentrated.
Hihi, yes, the animals really liked the head scratching - this service is rare... 😉
Indeed! The sheep are all healthy and they live a happy life on the pasture in nurse care (together with their lambs). It's not the most economical thing to do, but it's the nicest for the animals.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to spend time with the farm animals, which is the handicap of living in the city. For example, I was very surprised when I read in your post that they have retentive memories. From now on, their looks will mean more to me 🐑💕
Yes, that's a good plan!
The farm's six bucks are in another pasture at the moment, I haven't seen them for about three months. The pasture is not on my daily dog walk, but my husband likes to walk the dogs there sometimes: "The bucks are totally shy! They run away immediately when they notice me and the dogs from a distance!" Oops, what's wrong with the bucks? Actually, they are quite familiar.
Well, today I walked along there - with the dogs! The bucks mowed and ran up to the fence to be petted....
What a beautiful natural environment😊 I wonder if it is easy to get used to nature or to apartments🙄 Sometimes watching a buck documentary feels like enough, maybe because I haven't experienced the excitement of seeing a real buck.
