this has caused much hilarity in our house      it may well be breed dependant   or fence type dependant       but for two posters that i know to come on and support this idea     it puts a whole new meaning   to gouping for it :roflanim: :farmer:
 
no plums that wont work      there was a colored singer years ago gave an interview     and he explained that with the groupies he looked for the ugliest one      he knew they were not getting it and made the better lovers  as it would be ages before they would be getting it again :roflanim:

Very funny!!!   I also have a field full of big boys next to my first timers, with a rubbish fence inbetween.  Im torn - on the one hand it could solve my tup hire dilema (AND make the farmer replace that fence as promised last year!), on the other hand I want a Beulah tup, not hill speckle face..... decisions decisions

I am fortunate now in that my neighbour's girls have been moved on.  Hoorah.
I can't believe that sheep can do it through the fence!  Are you sure they aren't just jumping over and jumping back?


On another note, (sorry this is a bit rude, so I didn't want to make a new thread of it  :-[ [size=78%]) ... [/size]
I've noticed recently that some of my ram lambs have started crouching their back ends and sticking out their doo-dars, and erm well, some liquid comes out (not much)  ......  This isn't something I've ever seen them do in previous years, unless they've all gone to the butcher earlier in the year or developed later, dunno.  Is this a good sign, in terms of "readiness to work"?

foobar this is masturbation   i have seen it in bulls and boars     they have sexual desires the same as humans        i am not convinced  about sex through the fence     jumping over the fence is more believable          a good subject for the beer tent at westmoorland though    cameras will be banned   but audience participation will be welcome :roflanim:

I've kept my rams next to my girls for many years and never had any between the wire sexy stuff going on. Maybe i've been lucky! my boys on the other hand reguarly shag the water trough and each other. :roflanim:  just boys being boys.

I can just imagine someone producing some photo's of their ram lamb masturbating in order to show they were fertile.  :o

 :roflanim:   not the sort of photos that I had had in mind!


Shaggin troughs and other sheep I could understand, but suddenly dropping their back ends mid stride almost was a bit of a surprise. :)

You can get ewe panties (in various colours) to prevent tupping.

Just ask at your local feed store (Top shelf usually)
