Halter Lessons

Today I began to halter train some of our lambs. Since show season will be here before we know it I began training. Right now we have a total of 13 lambs that are old enough to begin halter lessons. I started out with 5 lambs I was able to catch. Today was really just an introduction. Each lamb was tied to the fence for 15 minutes. Bitsy's baby, Tinkerbell, found it horrid and was determined to get away. it didn't really help that Bitsy came into the barn calling for her and since Tinkerbell was tied up in the creep feed Bitsy was unable to reach her. Once I put some hay though in the feeder Bitsy was content to wait for he baby's lesson to be over while she munched on some hay. Ruth, Esther, Branch, and Carlos didn't get to upset over the lesson though they weren't happy about the whole thing. Hopefully tonight I will be able to catch the other lambs so they can start learning.

had finally calmed down.
