I have never see sheep like that. But easy to see that they are quality rams with great conformation.G'day folks,yesterday evening we had delivered (after a almost 9 month wait,due to Covid restrictions) the last peice in our breeding jigsaw. 4 rams,Compisites bred from Red Meatmasters.As you can see from the photos they are pretty impressive in lots of ways and will have a very good impact going forward to the prodgeny...T.O.R.
Hi FJ, we follow SOTF in all our livestock endevors,no Jenny really does not ingage with the dogs or pups anymore,she sees my dogs running about and understands I have to have them to move the sheep,maybe when their eyes are open and they come over close to the house she may engage a bit.Yes ,a busy time ,today is showery,windy and only 7c feels like mid winter.T.O.R.Sorry about the lost pup, but as you know from many years, if the mother refuses to take care of it, feed it or whatever, she usually has a sixth sense of something being wrong and it is nature's way to not try to "salvage" an animal that cannot compete in the "real world". It is a hard thing but sometimes survival of the fittest is the best. Glad that the others are all doing so good.
Does Jenny take any pleasure in the dogs or the puppies? Can she share that with you still?
Hope the sheep are all doing good. It must be a very busy time there with you getting ready for the cold weather.
