Separating Sheep

On 15 March with some help we separated the sheep.  One group of 15 were the breeding ewes, mostly merinos with a few old favourites and crossbreeds thrown in.  The other group of 15 included the new lambs from last year, merino wethers both high and low wool yielding, and non-merino ewes and wethers from the year before last.  The first group will be introduced to a new ram next month.  The second group will be further separated into two groups: sheep to keep and sheep to either butcher or sell when that decision has been made.
