Video: A scary day on the sheep farm


Well, after a few days off and finally feeling rested and ready to come home, I got a call from Carissa that our telehandler was on FIRE!! Thankfully, it didn't spread far and she was able to get it out of the barn and as far as she could to protect the sheep and barn. But a good reminder to check the spots where birds like to nest as this seems to be nesting season in the barn.
