Breeding groups are finally all set up, and we are depending on our good fences to keep the rams on their best behavior. We still have some hoof trimming to accomplish with Aragorn’s ladies but we’ve got the breeding harness on him in the meantime.
We were blessed with a gofer full of unsaleable pumpkins by our friends at Vested Heirs Farm. They provide some bright spots in the somewhat dreary pasture, and the flock is definitely enjoying the late autumn treat.

Temporary electric net fencing is a godsend for dividing the pasture into paddocks for rotational grazing. Here we’ve set up a temporary paddock outside the perimeter fencing so that the bio-mowers – the wethers and some of the yearlings – can help us maintain part of the barnyard. After spending the day out in the barnyard, they are brought back into the barn at night.

Samson is off on an early morning patrol around the perimeter of the back paddock.
A good fence and a couple of good guardian dogs keep the flock safe from harm.
