Winter finally arrived here. Looks pretty. Those are my fiber on the hoof out there by the barn. The big white is a polypay ram. I call him "Buddy Boy". The smaller white one is a female merino/shetland X I call "Snow" and the black one is "Delihia" The evil wild shetland female. All of these are a couple months short of 1 year old but all the things we have checked say it is alright to put them together this young as long as they are 1 year old by lambing time. Besides "Buddy Boy" was simply wearing himself out pacing the fence all day long.
