RE: Spending An Afternoon With The Sheep

The title and image of your post caught my attention. I am wondering where are you based?
Spending time with the cows and sheeps is very soothing and calming to me. We are far from nature because we reside in the city. We visit farms in the summer, but after reading your post, I now understand how much more work you must put in to take care of them in the winter. They need more attention and care during the winter months to stay warm and comfortable. This entails supplying them with additional hay and grain, protection from the wind and weather, and clean water. I never gave thought any of this.
