[Jacob-list] getting ewes pregnant...

[Mary Hansson]

Scott,

Trust me...This breed of sheep still knows how to
procreate.  I own a ewe that jumped up through a
window to get with a ram.  I have had fences beaten
down because the ewe on one side with a ram didn't
particularly want to be with that ram, so the other
ram just obliged...  6 ewes to 2 rams is NOT an
overload.
