They aren’t mine, I just live on the farm. But, probably 99% of their diet is grazing. They get some feed, but more as a method of herding them than anything else.

There are somewhere around 650 acres and 100-ish sheep. My landlord uses the farm to play, it isn’t really a commercial business.
We have 25 or so chickens, 1 llama, 4 donkeys, 5 dogs (including mine), the sheep, 1 cow (for personal consumption), and he’s in the process starting up bees. We’ve also had cows at times and there were goats before he changed to sheep.
He is an old farm boy who did pretty well in life and bought this farm just to play with.

Done.
So I only managed 2 of the 3 reps at 510. For some reason I’m leaning backwards at the top instead of driving my hips through on that one set. Everything else felt ridiculously light. The bottom of the pull on the 510 was like a power clean, but I completely fell apart technique wise above my knees.
Nice pulls, man! I don’t see no ‘weak red neck’ around here! 
Oh my goodness, you have donkey’s living with you? That is the most wonderful thing ever.
That + awesome deadlifting= fantastic log!

Felt strong. Left wrist still isn’t 100% though, so I didn’t push too hard. Lats were still a little sore from pulling even though I learned deadlifts don’t work your back recently.
