Today was the day of rams, we took three ewes to a white ram, took two ewes from a friends farm to our house, and another ram home to the Dorset ewes.
Sugar Foot, Lynn, and Emma went to the white ram where Eleanor was, she went home with our friends, the Nichols, after state fair. Eleanor greeted us through the fence it seems she recognized us before we did her.
We also visited Dolly who has been reported of being very naughty not only is she beating up other sheep but she has been reported of stomping her foot at Terry, her past owner. But what do we expect from Dolly, we also admired a new spotted Dorset ram lamb born on Sept. 1 who was very cute, if he grows out nice he may be a new ram to breed to Dolly.
From there we went home with two natural colored ewes and a Natural Colored Dorset ram. We dropped the two ewes off, wormed the ram and put a marking harness on him and drove back to our neighbors where the Dorsets are staying. He was more then happy to meet the girls though I can't say the same on there part.
Now we have to wait for marks to start appearing, Alex, the Natural Colored Romney has already marked one ewe in him group.
