Breeding Season Update

The "bachelor" rams --Oregano, Coriander, and Clove-- are bonding. They're hanging out with the wethers and watching the other rams leave.  If they knew where their buddies were disappearing to, they'd be jealous.

 Cypress is just on the other side of the barn.  His job is the breed about half of the ewes.  Oregano doesn't know it yet, but Cypress's half sisters will be his responsibility. I feel a little bad for him; they will be a feisty bunch! 

Mimosa is getting a new coat, pronto!

Quite a few of the ewes are having a "vacation" year, including Henrietta.  Hopefully, she'll stay away from the rams!

Yeti is used to the comings and goings during breeding season.

Yeti ignores all the drama.
