Dorper/Blackbelly Ram -PICTURES!!

[Parsnip]

TODAY IS THE DAY
A little bit slow this morning because last night I had this really bad migraine behind my eyeball SHEESH
Made me hurl and all that fun stuff.

But that's not stopping me from getting the ram today
I'll post pics of him once he's settled into his new bachelor pad.

We have him home now.
HE IS A HANDFUL

We had to tie his legs together, then rope his horns and drag him through the mud into the trailer...
IT was quite the morning.
But now he'll get grain, water and some nice grass to chomp on.
Pics later????

LOL. Apparently he felt leaving his old digs was not a good plan.
I can't wait to see more pics.
Ewe Three's little ram lamb behaves very stud like already as well. Even more so than Zip, my replacement ram. I'm starting to worry a little about my choice of ram replacements. Hopefully Zip wakes up and smells the coffee soon. LOL

He's a gorgeous boy. I say go for it!

I'm looking forward to pictures too - glad it worked out and you were able to get him home. Hope he is settling in well….

I FORGOT ABOUT THE TIME CHANGE.
Woke up at what I thought was 8:00am
It was really 9:00am sheesh

Went down to check on Buttercup this morning, and feed everyone.
He has the most rough, old man sounding voice I think I've ever heard.
That mixed with Pax's rough voice will make for interesting vocal lambies. AWESOME
I love it when they have hilarious deep voices haha


Here's the big boy!
He's a real chunk! I'm hoping him mixed with Pax and Diana's long legged, lean bodies will create a good lamb crop.
OH BOY

Congrats on your new handsome ram!!!! And yes, a ram's baaaaaaaaaa is pretty manly for sure. Hope he's a good ram for you and wishing beautiful babies for you!!!!!

Well, it was bound to happen, but Buttercup escaped!
I think he dug his way out from underneath?
Where there's a will, there's a way I suppose.
I think it's one of those ,"I don't know how, but it just happened" instances. lol

The only way to get him back in his little separate area was to put Pax and Diana in there first.
SO he's now with the two girls in his little bachelor pad, which he ran ragged, so it's basically half mud, half grass.
I put straw down on the mud, so it's not so hard on their legs.
He did his do with Pax right away, but Diana is scared half to death of Buttercup, so it might be a while.
I guess I'll keep them together for another week or so.
The only downside is that I can hear Diana hollering from up here at the house.
I hope she doesn't attract unwanted attention from nearby cougars or bobcats...

I think you may need to consider hot wire. Its great stuff. Get a powerful box though.
