We’ll blow me down. Dessa, the barren concubine ewe, just stood for Cooper. He’s bred her 4 times! But will there be lambs? We’ll know in approximately 145 days. I just HAD to count that up, February 15,2023. I’ll believe it when I see the lambs. Way to go Cooper!

Actually have seen and heard of this on occasion.... a cow that will not get bred by a bull and then stands when the bulls are changed out...smell, hormones, trigger the females heat response
BJ gave her the "talking to"......

I just got a call back from NRCS office in Crockett!!!! WHOOP! He knows nothing about sheep, wants to bring a guy from Palestine who does. Will try to set appointment in mid to late October.

Cooper is breeding Dessa again. 5,6, 7, that boy is a baby making machine! 9, 10, 11…. Still going-like the EverresdyBunny! I think he’s up to 16 now. At this rate, she ought to have a litter of half dozen!

OMG!!!! I just looked out the window to see the two young lovers casually strolling down the driveway! It's a chain link gate and they popped it open. I hollered SHEEP! SHEEP! SHEEP! This brought the ewes running from the pasture, Cooper and Dessa turned around and Cooper went across the driveway, checking out the HOTTIES!. I ran to get a feed can and I don't run too good these days. I shook the can. Got Dessa's attention and she came running. I poured feed in the pan and Cooper came too.

DISASTER AVERTED!!

I've tied the gate shut, the stinker is back at the gate pushing on it.

Phew! Close call. Hmmm - thinking a feed can in the house may be a good idea for those "special moments" ;)
