Sheeproundup

Same procedure as every year -  it was time to round up the sheep and bring them back to the valley. This year Ingólfur will join the second roundup and didn't ride with the farmers now. But for a change we had nice visitors and were able to show them a bit around and explain one or two things. We already met them a few days ago and had dinner with the group og veterinarians from Switzerland. Today we met them at Þverá and showed them the differences in the 2 kinds of Icelandic sheep, the different colours and differences in wool quality. Very interesting for me, too.
And there was a big improvement at Þverá: there's a new fence helping the herders keeping the sheep where they should be whilst taking a break!
When watching the huge herd coming down I spotted Snilld and one of her boys, hope the other one will be around, too, but we'll get to know that better tomorrow.
