The first week has now passed since we put the three boy's in to the girl's.It was a little mad at first with James trying to mount with in 30 seconds of getting in to the field.A little exited to say the least.
For the first three days their were 3 ewes tupped each day ,then it slowed down to 2 a day.Now it's a little quiet with the rams resting waiting for the ewes to come in to season.As soon as they start to show signs ,the rams will keep following hen until the ewes stands for him.
As of yet we have had 12 ewes tupped leaving 11 to be tupped in the next ten days.
After that the ram's wax crayons will be changed over to a different colour so that i know if any ewes were not mated successfully first round.This also gives me a better idea of what day the ewes will lamb.
