Overrun with beasties
So I brought home my new young Jacob ram Uriah on Monday. He's so cute! I put him with my flock of Jacobs on Tuesday. He mated Lily, my oldest ewe. But, there may be trouble with Lily and her father, Aidan. Aidan is an older whether that wasn't neutered until he was about 5. So Tim claims that later that day, Aidin was keeping Uriah away from the girls and wouldn't let him get near them. Not aggresively, but his herd sire instincts were kicking in. Tim thinks Uriah will be afraid now to mate with the girls, and wants to take Aidin out of the flock so Uriah can mate. This will make Lily very unhappy, I can tell you that right now, and Aidin too. They do not like to be apart. I think Aidin and Uriah were just working out the pecking order and Uriah will be able to mate.
Do any of you have experience with this and have any advice?
Thanks!
