The boys are checking in and are happy to report that the first breeding cycle ends today. All the ewes are marked, and the wax marking crayons get changed to a new color today. The hope is that everyone is caught the first go round, and no one gets marked a second time. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to get all the ewes moved to the barn pasture for the winter, hopefully before any more big snowstorms move through our area.
animal husbandry at its finest! you certainly have a good system!
