Not much in the way of grazing here Isabel. Is Ameico the farmer? He must be fit walking that distance every day.

Xata ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

He is the shepherd and the owner, see him in previous pic in BW.
Sheep in our land are adapted, green grass comes 3/4 months per year, that is the good years when we have some rain...

Beautiful with the long shadows (in the PiP)

I like the color of the sheep which is almost the color of the grass!

It's amazing that they find enough nourishment in the dry landscape, I assume there must be some springs that supply water throughout the dry season

Xata ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

Not much but the dry "pasto" is nourishing and gives their meat a very good taste. They are adapted...
Obrigada Peter

Dá para perceber nesta foto que a Primavera foi generosa. Algo que felizmente acompanhamos aqui no Ipernity. Não falta pasto.

Físicamente una vida sana. Necesitamos mucho de estos hechos de la vida real. He conocido a otro Américo portugués, que tenía más cantidad de animales a su cuidado, se ha jubilado hace dos meses. Era guarda de una granja avícola en la provincia de Burgos.

Xata ^club has replied to José Manuel Polo ^club

Y que hace ahora? Quedó por allá o volvió a Portugal? A Américo aún le falta mucho pa jubilarse pero esta algo harto, le gustaria poder hacer una pausa, pero las ovejas son suyas y es trabajo pa todos los dias del año...
