A second Lockdown was predictable!
After a brief period of optimism at the end of the summer,...
...the Covid cloud comes back again in September.
Second Lockdown (5.11.-2.12.)! Stay at home - except specific purposes. Individual exercise is permitted (max. 2 persons).
The beet where we train our dogs is very remote -...
...- no problem to observe the rule of social distancing!
The pheasant cocks seem to know the rule...
...but not the hens (no more comment)!
No lockdown at all for the sheep - mating season!
Generally an ewe is in heat for 24-36 hours (gestation about 150 days).
The ram responds to urination of the sheep by sniffing.
To know how efficiently the ram is breeding the ewes he can wear a harness (with a slot for a replaceable crayon). Picture viovet
Enough theory - Raymond knows how to tup an ewe!
"Fake" is also in season. Our plan was to mate her this time - but due to Corona virus and Brexit we have decided to wait another year.
Nobody knows the future; we live in the here and now...
