When herding sheep in the countryside, why do you always choose to put them in the afternoon?

Grass leaves with dew or rain in the morning may carry pathogenic microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, parasitic eggs, etc., and attach to grass leaves and water droplets. Sheep are particularly prone to dysentery and diarrhea after eating dew grass. If a pregnant ewe eats too much exposed aquatic plants, the lamb in her belly will miscarry. In summer, the weather is hot, the rain is abundant, the vegetation on the mountain is lush, and there are many flies and mosquitoes, but it is a good time for sheep to supplement nutrition and gain weight. During this period, due to the strong sunshine and the rapid drying of dew, you can go out to graze early and herd sheep in the afternoon. The grass on the barren slope has been basked in the sun for a noon, giving off a faint scent of grass, which sheep like to eat. Sheep also have the habit of "grabbing food". After the sun goes down in the afternoon, sheep eat grass quickly and eat more. Another point is the advantage of herding sheep in the afternoon. When sheep are hungry, they will eat grass seriously, will not fight, and will not run around. Usually two to three hours is enough.

There are fewer people herding sheep, mainly because there is no place to put them around. The owner of the field will be unhappy if the sheep run into the field and eat the crops. Sometimes, there will be many quarrels because sheep run to the fields to eat crops. Sheep are ruminants. Their food is grass or straw. Sheep are the prey of large carnivores, so they are very vigilant in all actions, fearing that they will be killed by natural enemies, captured by natural enemies and die. So when you meet food like grass, you should eat it first, and don't chew it slowly.

The reason why I choose to go out to herd sheep is to save money on feed. Sheep are not heavy, but they eat a lot. If you feed corn and other feed, the cost is very high. Only this kind of wild grass is the cheapest feed, and sheep can run best. Everyone who releases animals knows that when released early in the morning, on the one hand, farmers can't afford to raise them, and more importantly, sheep. You said that everything you eat is consumed by running all over the mountain. How can you gain weight?
