OKay - my sheep are all in their own pasture now with a great big water bucket and lot sof space. There is a long line of good shade trees, too, fully leafed out and ready to protect.
Question: do I still need a shelter of some sort? We'll only have them out there for the 4 or 5 months until snow this fall... The trees are very shady and there's lots of room - and a building to their east for protectin, I suppose.
But do I need to add a three-sided shed or will they be okay in the rain/thunderstorms that happen each spring/summer? I'm concerned because we are going away for over a week and a neighbor is caring for the animals while we're gone - I didn't want to worry him if they'll be okay out there on their own.
