The ewes have gone to visit the ram... his name is Roger


A few weeks ago Martyn and I went to visit friends who had bought-in a new Pedigree Lleyn ram. We went with a view to hiring Rogers' "services" for our Lleyn flock of ewes. Our friends are approx 2miles from our small holding, now that is buying local! 





Roger is only 18 months old, so it will be his first season of tupping. Roger will be wearing a harness that incorporates a wax pad, so there will be a visible mark on the ewes if they have been covered.  We'll be visting the ewes regularly to check on them and look for signs of the wax on their fleeces.
