What a difference one day makes, or maybe that is one fence.
Cierra & Nemo were next to each other off/on

I hope he was saying sorry!

As far as I know, Nemo & Harmony never left the dry lot yesterday. Koda and Cierra ventured further out into the upper pasture at times.
I truly believe they are a bonded herd. They have spent many years together off/on, in various configurations. Hopefully we can put them back together in the future, and eventually integrate Cierra's plus one.
Nemo & Harmony are in the upper pasture today

Koda (against distant pines) and Cierra have no problem grazing away from the other two. They are probably welcoming the peace.

You can never know what goes on in their minds. Glad to hear its much calmer today. Maybe sometimes they just need a rest from each other.
Yes, everything is so much better when calm. It is SO good to hear from you!! Hope you/yours & four legged family are all doing well.
I wonder if a front moved through yesterday also? Mine are very sensitive to changing weather patterns.
Looks nice and peaceful in your beautiful pastures!
Good fences make good neighbours!
Yes, there was atmospheric stuff going on yesterday/last night. My alerts were going off. Our horses are sensitive too. I think most animals are.
Whatever’s going on, I don’t think it is from a lack of herd bonding. Probably more to do with the changing circumstances and the nesting needs of Cierra. As frustrating as it is, it’s also kind of exciting! It won’t be long until you get your long-awaited baby!
I agree with you Linda. As much as our herd wants to be together they won't be able to for a while, and that's okay. It makes things more complicated for us, but it is worth the extra effort. It is our job to keep them all of them safe.
