Shade for the sheep

The last three weeks' super hot summer weather in Norway has left us in a hurry preparing new sheds for the sheep. Shade is needed! A couple of years ago, we were lucky to have a lovely intern from UK building a sheep's den for Sølje and Gullrand in their main sheep yard. The last winter was a little too tough with the original roof, so we had to build a new one now. This new roof should be able to handle snow in the winter, and provide shade in the summer. Paint / stain still remains. The sheep have barely started their summer occupation (alternate grazing with horses), and need a shed in this field as well. Last week we started to improvise a solid sheep tipi made out of recycled materials. The sheep already loves it! Today - on the warmest day so far - the roof is on its way . Progress!
