Meet our temporary groundskeepers, doing a fine job of clearing out the brush.
This old girl came up to me for scritches behind what’s left of her ears.

When the hospice aid comes to spell me for an hour or so during the weekdays, I will be out back hanging with these guys!

How long do they stay on your property for? Do you have to feed them other things while they work?

Not my property, but the 55+ community where mother lives. I think the herders come out once a day to make sure they have enough water and to move them to the next area to graze when needed. There are canopies in the enclosures for shelter, too. I think they’re just going to clear out some of the top left area.
ETA all that lovely blue water gives way to stinky gray sink-up-to-your-knees mud when the tide goes out.
