Today, I mucked out one of the sheep pens and helped get the Well Bred Shed ready for the day. After that, I sorted and weighed more wool that will be sold. In addition, I taped more poles that are going to be used as weave poles or for jumps during Working Dog Weekend. Many of the other volunteers and workers are super excited for Working Dog Weekend, myself included. Kenny Crumpton from Fox 8 is even coming for a sneak peak next Thursday, June 5. Unfortunately, my project will be over before then and the Senior Breakfast is that same morning. I do hope to stop by the Saturday of Working Dog Weekend to check things out, though.
I also helped with the sheep shearing demo in the afternoon by assisting in the capture of the sheep while preventing the other sheep from escaping the pen. I also officially became BFFs with one of the older Shetland sheep, Sophie. She absolutely loves to be petted and scratched. She even wags her tail when I pet her and always greets me now. I spent quite a bit of time introducing her to kids today because she is so friendly.
Bonus: Farmpark Newborn Board on Pinterest because who doesn't like baby animals?
