Chapter 211: Continued

Seeing that he was about to move the lambs out, Fu Meng asked, "Weren't these lambs supposed to be moved out anyway? If they're kept together, the ewes won't want to go out and graze."

Shi Wen the ewes at home have plenty of milk, so feeding them shouldn't be a problem.

However, driven by maternal instinct, the ewes think about their lambs all day long, and when they go out to graze, they don't eat well, always wanting to come back early to feed their lambs.

In just a few short days, the ewe had become haggard.

Therefore, experienced herders usually train lambs to graze at a relatively early age and separate the mother sheep from the lambs to prevent them from interfering with each other.

Shi Wen said, "It's better if there are ewes to lead the sheep. If the ewes don't lead them, then we'll have to lead them ourselves. But we don't have enough manpower here, and it's too hard, so I haven't been able to move out."

Fu Meng understood. "That is indeed a problem."

Raising the young of any animal is never easy.

Shi Wen that some people didn't want to be the wet nurses, so they had to let the ewes take care of the sheep themselves.

That's how it is with keeping pets; it's hard to say which option is better. It's all about weighing the pros and cons.

Now that the lambs need to be moved out, Shi Wen specially prepared a new sheepfold.

There should be enough hay and other feed in the troughs, and a fine wooden grid should be placed in the pen so that sheep droppings can fall under the grid and be easily cleaned by the robot.

In addition, it's important to ensure proper ventilation and warmth. The lambs are still small, and if they catch a cold from being moved out, it could cause serious problems.

The two chatted as they worked, and it took them most of the day to set up the sheepfold.

These lambs are intended to be sold as pet lambs, Shi Wen has specially prepared a sheep pen for each lamb to ensure their living environment.

The lambs have their own separate pen, which will be more convenient for customers to visit.

The customers are very well-informed; if someone requests to come and select sheep, others will likely seize the opportunity as well.

Since that's the case, we might as well make arrangements sooner rather than later.

The main problem is that there are just too many pet lambs. It's no longer a seller's market here, and if the lambs can't be sold and end up stuck with them, it would be quite troublesome.

Shi Wen that they plan to make more efforts to sell the lambs.

Shi Wen everything is ready here, and we're just waiting for customers to come on Saturday.

On Saturday, the customer drove to their ranch early in the morning, following the address he had given him.

This customer's surname is Wang, and his given name is Wang Changchun. Both his surname and given name are quite common, but his appearance is anything but. He also has a great demeanor and looks like a super-rich person.

Shi Wen glanced at the man twice, but didn't ask any further questions, only inquiring, "Mr. Wang, are you choosing a sheep?"

Wang Changchun smiled, holding his daughter, and said, "My daughter and I will choose together."

Shi Wen asked, "Shall we go to the sheepfold now and choose a sheep?"

The little girl was a bit shy and was still nestled in her father's arms, not raising her head.

Upon hearing Shi Wen's words, the little girl raised her head, revealing her large, dark eyes, and nodded vigorously, looking very excited.

Shi Wen, who didn't have children of her own but had a bunch of pets, couldn't help but smile as she looked at the adorable little girl, and asked in a soft voice, "What's your name, little one?"

Wang Changchun said, "Wang Yiyi, the Yiyi of 'reluctant to part'."

Shi Wen said, "Good name, let's go over there."

Their sheepfold was impeccably clean. Shi Wen led the Wang family father and daughter inside, a hint of barely perceptible pride appeared on his face. "All our sheep are kept here. Tell me which one you like, and I'll bring it out for you in a bit."

Wang Changchun was surprised that their sheepfold was so clean. He was a little worried when he first arrived and even packed a mask for his daughter in his bag, only to find that it was completely unnecessary after he came in.

Even the air here is fresh; there's only the smell of disinfectant, not sheep manure.

Wang Changchun exclaimed, "Your sheepfold is really well-maintained!"

Shi Wen, "We're a professional, modern ranch. Go to the left, starting from this side. Sheep number one through one hundred and fifty-six are all here. Tell me which one you like."

The little girl's eyes lit up noticeably, and she seemed to want to struggle down from her father's arms and walk on the ground.

Wang Changchun quickly scooped his daughter up. "It's a bit dark here, I'll let you down in a bit."

The little girl protested, "Daddy, I want to walk by myself. I can walk really well."

Wang Changchun had no choice but to help her down and hold her hand firmly, saying, "Walk slowly."

The little girl, as soon as she hit the ground, stopped listening to her father's instructions and started running forward with her short legs.

She quickly arrived at sheep pen number one.

The lamb is inside.

The lambs at Shi Wen's house are all quite beautiful. They're not even a month old yet, but their fur is white and fluffy, and their eyes are bright. They look like puppies, but they're more slender and handsome.

The little girl stared at the lamb, unable to look away. "Lamb."

The lamb remained very calm, not moving at all when it saw the strangers. It just nestled on the hay, chewing the hay in its mouth listlessly, without even glancing at the two of them.

The little girl gripped the fence with both hands. "The lambs are so pretty!"

Shi Wen: "Yes, they are safe too. Would you like to have a closer interaction with them? Like reaching in and touching them."

The lamb has already been vaccinated. Since it was born recently and doesn't have teeth yet, it won't bite or kick anyone. It's relatively safe for it to come into contact with even human infants.

Shi Wen mainly here watching over things, so I'm not worried about anything going wrong.

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately tilted her head back and looked at her father, her eyes filled with eagerness. "Daddy, I want to touch it!"

Wang Changchun glanced at Shi Wen and said, "Then ask your uncle to let you go in and touch it."

The little girl immediately clasped her hands together under her chin, looked at Shi Wen, and said, "Uncle, please? Please."

Shi Wen was completely charmed by the little girl and immediately softened his voice again, saying, "Of course you can."
