It was quite a surprise! azed on the grass in our open fields but as the days grew shorter and Masiess and less for her to eat. We thought that she had wandered away Tom«ths fole soto speak and would wander back as the winter came along. Or as the more common wisdom has it... "Zeave her alone and she‘ll go home, wagging her tail behind her..." Meanwhile we searched the nearby countryside asking neighboring farms if they had lost their sheep and "didn‘t know where to find her". No one knew of Martha or where her home was likely to be. It looked like Martha was going to stay. We fed her grains from Alternatives as the grazing got more sparse but worried what we would do when the real winter weather came as we have no other animals and the barn would be too cold for her. Then an ideaâ€"we asked one of our friendly farmers â€"Scottyâ€"if he would like to add a sheep to his flock. He was willing to transport her to his farm. Martha went to his beautiful farm West of here where she lives happily ever after and produces lambs yearly. We ask about Martha now and then and hear that she is a leader among sheep and a great addition to the flock. We are so glad that Martha has a great home and is one of the producers of fresh Ontario Lamb. The lamb at Alternatives is the finest.
