| Wild Rose Farm Ewes Grazing After Light Snow |
We had an inch or two of snow last night and the temps were in the 20's today. It wasn't too bad outside since the sun was shining while we were working with the sheep. Look closely and you can see the ewes have green numbers on their hips in preparation for the start of breeding season. We added flock number ear tags to the yearlings, trimmed them up as needed, and sprayed on their tag numbers ..... it's much easier to read a big painted number than try to read the ear tags when we're looking to see which ewe has been marked as being bred by the ram. We'll be using more than 1 rams this year. The new Dorset ram from the PA Performance Tested Ram Sale will be in with most of the ewes. He is definitely eager to get out with the ewes .......

We'll also use the Rambouillet rams on select groups of Rambouillet ewes. The rams will go in over the Thanksgiving weekend. We ordered crayons for the breeding harnesses & FedEx tracking says that they're on the way!
