New ram

We picked up our new ram, Flint, on Labor Day. He is a spunky little guy. He was born this year, in April, so he's just a young'un but should be ready for breeding by November. Actually, he's probably ready NOW, but we're not. :-) We don't want lambs in February. So, he'll have to wait a bit.

He's been sheared since these pics were taken, and he looks quite different without 6 inches of fleece on. The first day he looked quite comical to us (all horns and rumen) but now we've gotten used to it.
