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 well, I'm hoping that we can stretch it out till mid-November at least. Once the snow gets too deep they don't have much desire to go out and dig for anything. Looks like it's going to rain for Halloween, the kids won't be too pleased. But I'm sure I will be dragged out regardless if its raining or not lol yay for candy!

I don’t keep a wether. I just put the ram next to the ewes where he still has company. He can see them, be next to them, but not breed them. I think I may split my flock so he has girls most of the time. Or at least give him a couple of ewes. That’s what I have going now, we’ll see how it goes.

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

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 .
