Photos: Herd on the street in Pittston as cows, sheep seek greener pasture
Volunteers, and sheriff’s deputies, gathered in Pittston Tuesday morning to help Morton Brook Ranch owner Christian Jensen move his herd of 11 cattle and about 45 sheep across Wiscasset Road. Jensen said it was the second year he has used several neighbors’ hayfields as a rotational grazing pasture for his animals. Having the herd trim the grass and spread its manure as fertilizer would get the crop off to a good start next spring, he said. All photos by Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal
