Description
Byline: Frank Magiera Her battered pickup truck barely rolls into view across a lush Charlton meadow when three dozen sheep gallop over to greet Marianne McCarthy like a swarm of wooly bees flocking to their queen. In essence, Ms. McCarthy is their queen. Her truck is packed with the culinary treasures that sheep savor - sweet grain and fresh water. And she distributes them generously to the eager critters, already bleating with anticipation and literally climbing over each other to get a mouthful. She calls them by their names, encouraging the laggards, scolding the aggressive ones and just saying hello. Finally, she re-arranges the portable electric fence that establishes the boundaries of yet another fresh acre of pasture and moves on.
