We&#8217;re given our feed. The vet is called for us if needed, and in return we give back with eggs we lay, wool when we&#8217;re sheared and milk when we&#8217;re &#8220;milked&#8221;.

Sometimes though the herd needs to be culled because some have gotten sick. Some need to be gelded to keep them nice and mellow.
