It's been a few weeks but now that the Holiday mahem is complete I have time to post. It's been quiet since the excitement of lambing. We've been eating our first harvest. Lamb is tasty.
In addition, the remaining rams have all moved back home after summering around the corner at another pasture. We tried to separate them in a bachelor paddock on one side of a fence with the ewes all together in a fully electrified enclosure right next to them. Apparently, at least one of them have supernatural powers. Our other senior ram, Michael Jackson, magically moved in with the ewes without leaving any tracks in the snow between the enclosures! There were some prints on the outside of the ewe's enclosure but we followed them and they dead-ended nowhere near the perimeter where he came from. ?!?
It's quite the puzzler. He has now been re-dubbed Magic Michael. The snow melted but he has done it several more times and also helped his friends. Now all the rams are in with the ewes within the electric fence.
We will have to work on our fences before lambing begins but for now it works OK.
