Ice Makes Reorganizing & Moving Sheep Hazardous!

Video: Ice Makes Reorganizing & Moving Sheep Hazardous!

So, in today’s sheep farming vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we can no longer wait for better weather conditions and must brave the treacherous ice and hope no one gets injured! This is Canadian sheep farming!
