We got the backup rams out of the ewe pens today. The two backups, Desert Weyr Kevyn and Desert Weyr Kirk, plus the live cover ram, Desert Weyr Kai, are now in a tiny pen getting used to each other. We’ve found that by cramming the boys in together until they smell the same, we avoid most major fighting. We’re planning to put these three boys and all of the ram yearlings in a small pen. It’ll be either tomorrow or Tuesday. Later in the spring, we’ll combine the old rams with the younger rams, and they’ll be back to one big bunch.
