Figure 7. Ewes' behavior in an OP (left) and in a silvopasture (right) during summer daytime in Blacksburg, Virginia. In the OP, ewes display signs of stress by clustering together and attempting to bury their heads under other animals. Conversely, ewes in the silvopasture appear more relaxed, lying down comfortably.
(L) Ewes in OP clustered in a tight group with their heads down. (R) Ewes lying in shade of a tree in silvopasture.
