Loving the herd life
As I was moving some rams into the ram pen today, I couldn't help chuckling as I remembered an "almost" ram incident from early in the fall! 
I don't put my rams out until November 1st, so they were all tucked up comfey in their ram pen back beside the horse pasture. Or so i thought.......!
We have had some problems with cougars attacking the sheep this fall, so there were quite afew different time when some sheep weren't where they were supposed to be!
Also, unfortunatly, I am guilty of keeping two pretty nasty rams! As the saying goes, "They try to ram the cold out of winter!"
Well, the begining of Oct., I was at the edge of the the yard trying to dig my extention cord out of the dead grass. I use it to plug in my chickens heat lamp when it starts to get chilly out. I am not sure how I over looked putting the cord away in the shed this spring, but anyway, there I was bent over with the pruners, cutting dead grass and pulling the cord, cutting and pulling. I got a strange feeling like someone or something was watching me, but I just shrugged it off, and chalked it up to my over active imagination
and kept cutting and pulling. Suddenly I heared a scuffing noise that definatly WAS NOT me!!!
I broke out in goosebumps, and very s l o w l y stood up while I turned around! 
The sight that met my eyes, I could have swore I wet my pants!!!There were all six of my rams standing not 10 feet from where I was bent over!!!!! I was soooo scared, I started backing up and ended up tripping on the cord I had cut out of the grass, I fell on my behind and as I scrambled to get up, I wiped out yet again! I was possitive I was going to get smacked at any second so I started to roll away until I could get my feet under me and then ran a few steps!!! I guess the rams thought I was pretty crazy, cause when I stopped to turn around to look, they were high-tailing it down the driveway!!
Lol!

That's too funny! I'd have reacted the same though!

I guess my hubby didn't look before he dropped the bale!!!!
