Having the dogs around will be comforting to him. Of course once breeding season starts he won't be thinking of anything else but his harem!

I pulled weeds and grass in the garden today. Lots of fescue, lambs quarters, poor joe and other weeds. That Sheep got wagon load after wagon load. I had to go through Ringo’s pasture to get to the lambs. He quickly learned to wait at the gate when he saw me coming so he could take the choicest treats. The lambs yelled, the ewes yelled, but they all got full and laid down to ruminate.
The lambs got a lot of weeds. They loved the poor joe.
Ringo loved the poor joe too, but he really went after the lambs quarters. He got his fill of fescue then nuzzled around in the wagon for the lambs quarters. The ewes got their fill of lambs quarters and poor joe and would politely sniff my offering and look at me with an expectant expression, Where’s the fescue? There must be some nutrients in the poor joe and lambs quarters that Ringo wanted.

He got a good rub down too. I didn't have a brush, so I just rubbed him with my fingers. The hair flew! He is shedding, I rubbed and plucked the under wool and hair, looked like we could have built another ram.

He looks to be perfectly content.

Maybe some material for ya to use to show the grands the process of wool becoming yarn and knitting something with it...keeps little hands and minds "busy"......

I don't know if you got to see the yearling ewes that had coats that were 3" thick or better. They are normally some beautiful girls but right now they look terrible as they are shedding in big clumps.

Nope. It’s not anything you could spin into yarn.Maybe some material for ya to use to show the grands the process of wool becoming yarn and knitting something with it...keeps little hands and minds "busy"......
Ringo doesn’t look bad, but he is starting to get a slick spot or two.
Gosh I love that boy!

He makes it about as easy as it can be to love him and I can't think of a better place for him to be.

Awww... thanks. We are keeping the granddaughters this weekend, the oldest brought a friend. I asked if anybody wanted to go see Ringo, the 2 year old screamed YESSS! With a fist full of animal crackers, she took off. He is still not sure of her, but he ate all the animal crackers she gave him.
