Ram Time

Ram time  -  @joceesfarm.blogspot.com


It's that time of year when the rams get to have some fun/do some work.  They have about 6 weeks when they are in with the girls, then the rest of the year is all about eating, sleeping and preparing themselves for the year ahead.  A very tough life!

They have been next door to the ladies for a couple of weeks, pacing the fence and sweet talking whoever will listen.

I moved them into a new paddock and then let the girls in.  The boys came running.

That's about as long as it took for introductions - I'm guessing you can work out the rest.
