We usually keep our rams 1/4 mile up the road at Tony’s cousin’s house. They have 5 acres on a hill with lots of trees, grass, blackberries, rocks, and a big pond. It is the perfect place for our boys!
Unfortunately, the neighbors that live at the bottom of the hill had one of their sheep killed by a coyote. So, we decided to bring the boys home.
The funny thing was that when we got up there they were more than ready to come home. We barely had time to open the door on the trailer. They ran from the bottom corner of the pasture and jumped in the trailer. Kate, my border collie, looked at me with this puzzled look on her face. She was a little disappointed that she didn’t get to go to work. They aren’t usually hard to get in the trailer, but it’s never been that easy!!! After inspecting the banks of the pond we found a lot of coyote prints. I am very thankful that Gallo, one of our llamas, was up there with them.
