Operation Grumpy Ram Day2 : He hated the vinegar yesterday so much that today for the most part he left me alone. I led him out to a new pasture so he can stretch his legs and he behaved beautifully. So we are heading in the right direction.

Operation Livestock guardian Day 75759 still licking sheep , trying to hump and caught him with a chicken in his mouth. He has completely regressed. He never used to do this stuff. Trying to figure out why...is like finding a needle in a haystack.
( some of you may remember me posting about this)

Any sheep or other animals in heat? You might want to put chickens on lockdown for awhile and only let them out late in the evening right before roosting time. Then you can be out there to supervise and they won’t be all over the place. Go back to square one on chicken training, in small increments of time. You can put him in the coop and scold if he even looks at a chicken. I’ve done that and made them flutter and run to excite the dog.

Pretty as a postcard pictures. Just please keep the snow up there for a couple months....

Very good idea, he is tethered out with the sheep so that they may escape. No one is in heat. They are all bred but one. And she only just got here. The humping has been going on for months. He tried to bite one of the ewes udders. He has been on lock down quite a bit.

I walk my puppy twice a day with the Sheep. They are on dry lot so the winter rye, fescue and clovers can grow. Sometimes he is on a leash. Sometimes not. I would suggest penning the sheep and walking with him in the pen. Don’t even allow a thinking about it look on his face.

This afternoon I put Sentry in the ewe/lamb pen. He licked ewe butts, a few of the lambs, sat down watching them and finally laid out in the sunshine and took a nap. I am pleased with him.
