How Morning Chores Are Done On Our Sheep Farm

Video: How Morning Chores Are Done On Our Sheep Farm

At Ewetopia Farms, we show you how our daily morning chores are done on our working sheep farm. In the summer, this would also involve letting the sheep out to pasture. But it is fall in Canada, and most of our sheep are currently in breeding groups, and the pastures are eaten off, so most of the sheep are being fed indoors until the end of winter. What is a little different in our farm routine in this sheep farming vlog is that we have a customer drop by to pick up one of our Suffolk rams for breeding to their flock so we load him up and have a look at the ram they picked out.
