Following The Leader
You may have wondered... when you saw yesterday's post of the lambs outside...
how I got Gracie and the lambs outside by myself.
Gracie is such a good girl and leads very well...
especially when I am carrying a pack of Ritz crackers!
The babies just follow along behind her
(sometimes a bit rambunctious...but they stay fairly close.)
Then into the fenced in yard they go,
and the fun begins...
and the laughter ensues!
A little later in the evening the guineas come down from the upper pastures...
headed towards the big pine tree by the barn where they will roost for the night.
Here is their reaction at seeing the sheep for the first time...
This is a great illustration of why guineas make good farm security.
They always let you know when something is different!
