Ahmet had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb...
Sheep herd owners in Kıraçlar village, located 33 kilometers from
Çemişgezek in Tunceli province, have their sheep in a "kom" (winter
station for flocks) 10 kilometers from their homes. The "kom" is a
sheepfold surrounded by stone walls and covered with tenting.
As of February, the herd owners have a new concern: the sheep will
give birth. So the owners are keeping a 24-hour watch on the "kom"
in the face of the twin risks of cold weather and wild animals. When
the sheep give birth the owners are there to act as veterinarians and
make sure the newborns are safe. Some sheep giving birth for the
first time don't always look after their lambs so the owners step in here,
too. The mothers and lambs are brought together twice each day for
feedings.
