Tupping time (the boys are back in town)
So yesterday was the big day. The rams went back in with the ewes. Jack escorted the gents — Newman, Handsome Dude and Mac —to the ladies in the pasture. By this time of year, the rams have put on a bit of extra weight so the ewes easily outrun them up the hillsides. By the end of the first day , the three rams were huddled together. Trying to devise a better strategy no doubt. Most of the day, my farm help and I spent laughing. Poor boys! There's lots of ladies and lots of hillsides on the ranch.
