Yeti

Yeti came home to live with us last night.

Baa, baa, spotty sheep.

If you think he looks a bit different than everyone else, you're right.  He's a CVM (California Variegated Mutant/Romeldale).  The rest of the gang are Shetlands, except for Elsie and her progeny--they are Shetland/Icelandic crosses.  Yeti is a wether (castrated male).  He's just here to grow wool.

We've traveled with sheep quite a few times, but Yeti was the first to baa the entire way home.  It was very cold last night, so he stayed in barn with the ewes in one of the empty lambing jugs.  We moved him to his permanent home with the rest of the boys early this morning.

Meet and sniff.

It looked like it was going well at first.  The whole gang sniffed him, and everyone seemed content.  Yeti seemed especially fond of Sally, and Gunpowder was very gentle with him.  But after the others were grazing, Pecan started to harass Yeti.  We're keeping an eye on the situation.  (My eyes are very busy between watching the ewes for labor signs and the boys for bad behavior.)
