Synchronized ewes being teased by the rams.

We are again a participating flock for the USDA NAGP research project in non-surgical AI in sheep. This picture was taken the day before the inseminations. We synchronized the ewes and then teased them through the fence with the live rams. All 24 experimental ewes were very interested in those rams.

Fortunately the storm held off until the day after the big insemination day. Now we have a lot of snow and our last grazable pasture is being used by the replacement ewe lambs and the butcher ewes. They all have hay as well but they seem to enjoy going out and digging under the snow for the last green grass.
