Now that Golden Week is over, things are starting to calm down a bit at Ark Tategamori.

We have been blessed with rain since Golden Week, and the grass is doing well.

Up until April, the grass was growing timidly, but now it is showing signs of vigorous growth.

Finally, the sheep, goats, ponies, and other grass-cutting crews arrive in the pasture.

This year, 10 goats were added to the farm, but the main focus is on the 300-plus sheep.

Weeding on the farm relies more on the efforts of the animals than the staff.

To achieve this, the pasture is divided into several areas and moved around and weeded repeatedly.

Such efforts are one way of maintaining the ranch's environment.
