Operation Grumpy Ram Day2 : He hated the vinegar yesterday so much that today for the most part he left me alone. I led him out to a new pasture so he can stretch his legs and he behaved beautifully. So we are heading in the right direction. Operation Livestock guardian Day 75759 still licking...

Thanks :) I like taking them!

Olive loves the snow , she takes the best pictures:lol:

Yes he is very much halter trained from showing. He is a different sheep when in his halter, he respects the chain. He stands great in the show ring, when practicing, when he gets brushed and a bath. He is a complete gentleman until the halter comes off lol I wouldn't say he is mean, its like he...

I am pretty sure the neighbors probably think I'm crazy running around with spray bottles and pitch forks yelling NO :lol:

he will leave me alone for the most part if i have the spray bottle. He doesn't like when i put vinegar in it :rolleyes: My husband flips him but I struggle. He is already over 160 lbs. But I need to get this handled because once he is over 250lbs I'm not gonna have a hope in hell of wrestling...

Supposed to snow tonight/tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Got some second cut hay in storage finally. I think we are all set for winter. I am going to do a search here on the forum to look at some advice for a cranky ram. Ours is just getting worse. He doesn't run and head butt you. But he...

yeah Im so excited for lambing season!! Babies from some pretty awesome show lines. Fingers crossed for some good ones. I keep telling my husband that sheep are like potato chips. Cant have just one. :celebrate

I think I should have named her bunny not brie lol those ears 😂

I don't see anything wrong with it other then maybe different management practice. We raise katahdins and my son is going to raise shetlands, which will need a different fence and bedding. But if your are just pets then yeah I would just keep them all together and watching for bullying .

My ram will try to breed them through the fence, and right now I have a ewe lamb that I dont want bred, if i didn't have her I would just keep him with the ewes .

Let the new girls out to graze. They were so happy for some fresh grass.

Trying to get my hands on a cute little Shetland Wether to be a buddy for my ram lamb. I would like to have him separated from the girls. He is being kept on the show grain, if I keep my ewes on the show grain with him they will become obese!! o_O The pasture is still looking good and holding up...

Thats what I looked like after each ultrasound :weee So excited, they are pregnant by a different ram then ours, so It will be nice to have some new blood lines. The lambs will be very distantly related to the ram I have now.

Thanks! These girls will hopefully compliment my ram well. I have been on the hunt for ewes for a while lol

Everyone had an ultrasound done, and is pregnant! Though my Cinnamon ewe is much farther behind the others. Very early on and hard to tell but it looks like she is. I thought she was farther along....when in reality she is just fat lol Looking forward to lambing season more then ever now!

Thanks!!

We added 3 more ewes to our flock :) two bred yearlings and a ewe lamb. Clover, Willow and Brie.

Good idea for the garden thats for sure!

Very true, Well considering that I live in Maine surrounded by trees I have quite a bit at my own disposal that is chemical free. I can just use what's on my own lawn.
