Maintenance Work at the Livestock Enclosure
In a quiet countryside farmstead connected to castle lands, a knight steps in to mend a wooden gate securing a flock of sheep. Rural estates relied on sturdy timber fencing and gate latches to protect valuable livestock from predators and prevent animals from wandering off into surrounding fields. Using traditional hand tools like wooden mallets ensured that farm structures remained solid throughout the seasons.
Fascinating Facts About Historical Sheep Farming
Sheep were among the most essential farm animals in medieval society because their wool provided fiber for clothing, blankets, and tapestries. Traditional shepherds built pens out of split timber or woven hazel branches, known as hurdles, which could be easily repaired with wooden mallets and wooden pegs. Herds grew thick fleece throughout the winter months, which was sheared in late spring when warm weather arrived.
