Ours are off next Tuesday - we'll definitely miss them as we raised them as orphans and they're very 'chatty' first thing in the morning, but looking forward to the meat!  :)

We've got a tiny ram called Sox - He was an unexpected second arrival from a small ewe, we keep him as a pet and he likes his head rubbed too.  And his back, and his shoulders and his chin - big softie!   :D

My lovely ram lamb loved a head rub. I would have kept him - he had really good conformation and a nice temperament - except that his front legs were wonky and we'd never be able to breed from him and he'd probably have pain as he got older and heavier.

I love my 'Ramie Lambie' too but he has to go - and he is getting a bit bolder whan I go in with him - now it's a medium dunt, progression from a gentle tap and I know my back won't handle stage three the all out running dunt. Hope everyone's lamb makes it all worth while.
