The Ram

I did three posts today so if you want to view them chronologically you should scroll down.

One of Edith’s rams came over for a visit. He’ll be here for about three weeks. We had just got the breeding ewe’s culled out of the herd and the rest moved up to the new pasture when Edith showed up with him. We set up a holding area for him with Larry and Louie’s corral panels. Since he is a lot bigger and stronger than the ewe’s he needs special handling facilities.

Lisa was trying to coax Moe up the hill to the barnyard. We put them in so they would get used to the barn and get to know where the food and water comes from. Moe finally came up on his own a few hours after this when we went out for the afternoon feeding.

He has a huge head compared to the girls and wethers. He has the black knee just like Tilly’s little girl lamb. He was one of the rams in the pasture when Tilly and Bess went for breeding so this could be the daddy.
