We had some excitement the other day when our ram showed up. His name is Rabbit and we found out that it's probably because he doesn't walk: he hops. Actually, getting him to hop is an improvement over dragging him by his halter a quarter mile to the ewes. We realized that that just wasn't happening and got a great lesson from Josh, the bearer of the ram, in how to flip a sheep over. Sheep become very docile when on their back, a fact that came in handy this weekend when two sheep escaped and we had to tackle them under the guise of giving them grain.
