Signpost: Starting to think about closing up grass for the spring

As I said in the last article we have been working on building body condition in the ewes over the last while, making sure they were in good condition going into the mating season. 

Rams were joined with the ewes this week and prior to joining the rams I handled all the ewes again, any ewe that has failed to regain body condition is being culled.
