Sheep collection has started. There are about 400 sheep/lamb on the island owned by one family. Lots of people showed up to help herd the sheep back to the barn for sorting, weighing and sending to the slaughter house. Here are a few herders heading to the very back of the island. We spread out over about 1 1/2 miles and walked toward to cultured land hoping to catch most of the sheep on the way. The adults have bells on them, so they are fairly easy to hear. The lamb don't have bells, but they usually stick to their mother.
