Are you getting them to follow you with feed in the bucket? Mine normally follow me a few steps and then go there own way if I don't have feed. Otherwise I have to be behind them.

They will follow for quite a distance by me just calling to them but for the number of gates we had to go through in that picture they are wanting what's in the bucket. I'm also talking to them the whole time "come on girls" in a sing-song sort of way. I keep feeders in every field they go to and make it a point to go out every couple of days to give them something, even if it is only a couple of bites. Being so close to lambing for about half of them I don't want them to have too much feed since it seems to go straight to the unborn lambs. I fed them way too much the first season and had huge lambs.

Your girls are as spoiled as mine. 
That is a pretty picture of them following you and Maisy.

We went out and wormed the two ewes that needed it and while at it did a Famacha on Ringo. He wasn't as red as I like so we gave him a shot of wormer also just to be sure. He has covered all of the ewes that we wanted and he has done his last breeding on our place. He's ready to go and find some Animal Crackers at his next home. I found out something about him that I didn't know the other day while reading the web page on the farm we got him from. His previous home was the family farm of Al Gore.

I will. With all the bad things you here about rams, it's nice to be able to walk up to him and stick the wormer in his mouth like today. That and being able to do his hooves in the field. It takes two people though since he needs one person to lean against while the other raises a hoof.

This has to be bittersweet. Ringo has done his job at your farm and has produced good lambs for you. Now it is time for him to move to his next home.We went out and wormed the two ewes that needed it and while at it did a Famacha on Ringo.
