It's time (2018-05-09) for the rams to get together with the fall ewes so that lambing commences on October first, or shortly thereafter. The rams followed me with a feed bucket from their pen into the front field; here they clean up a bit of feed put on the ground.
We head over to where the ewes are located in the field, the rams see the ewes and move on in.
Anneika initially barks at the rams, but in short order they are all mixed up together.
The rams are in there somewhere.
Anneika moves in to check out the situation.
Anneika settles down.
Its getting warm out, they all move into the shade of the trees.
They all settle down in the shade. The six rams are in the background grazing on the ryegrass.
Anneika decides a ewe needs a bit of a cleanup. She takes care of the right ear.
Then she takes care of the left ear.
