Dawn Sheep Sorting Alley Tuscan Farm

Soft overcast light spills across a weathered timber sheep sorting alley beside a pasture gate in early spring. Drafting rails curve along the right, guiding movement toward a loading gate where ear-tag bins sit ready for use. Lanolin rubbed into the wood grain creates dark, glossy streaks against the pale, rain-dampened surface. Straw and scattered feed litter the damp earth floor, mixing with the muddy texture of the ground. Low angle framing emphasizes the height of the sturdy wooden posts and the weight of the metal fixtures. One ear-tag bin rests on a rough plank, its plastic surface reflecting the gray morning sky. The scene holds the quiet weight of patient labor before the day begins.
