Göngur & Hraunsrétt 2009

On Thursday and Friday the farmers from Aðaldalur collected their sheep in Þeistareykir and drove them down to the valley on Saturday.
Ingólfur, Bragur and Hugsun went with Bensi, Amor and Stori Jarpur to look for sheep.
Hrund, Maggi and Karin rode from Hólmavað to the meeting point on Saturday and helped driving the sheep over the last mountain to Aðaldalur. Eventhough she is young in years Hrund rode like an Icelandic cowboy and was a big help driving the sheep to the valley.
Bensi was really happy that Móra, his old leadersheep (she is 12 years old!) came back from the mountains. Healthy and looking forward to go home she was always in front of the herd!

On Sunday was "Réttadagur", the sorting day. Around 30 people were helping Bensi and Ella finding their sheep in the big herd of over 4500 individuals. It is always fun to wade through all these sheep and look for markings with the number "45Þ5", which is Bensi's number.
Ingólfur and Bensi took care of the door to the fence where our sheep had to go and they had enough to do to make it clear to "foreign" sheep, that they are not supposed to go into our fence.
I think everybody was tired and happy after dragging sheep in our fence, most of us now marked with a lot of blue spots from all these horns...
Have a look at the pics in our picture albums!

But the biggest surprise held Móra! She'll give birth to one or two lambs during the next weeks!
We are all looking forward to that and hope everything will go fine!
