Those of you who have been worried about Yahtzee, the ram who broke his foot on shearing day, will be relieved to know he is healing fine and getting some outside time now that the rain is gone. He was rather vocal about being shut in the lambing shed. He loves being petted and scratched, so much so that we have to watch him every second we are out with him. He doesn't realize how powerful those horns are! One more week and we can take off the splint, checking to see how the foot looks. Yahtzee only tentatively puts weight on it now. The vet thinks he might be somewhat crippled for life, so we may have to rethink where he will be. If he can't keep up with and defend himself from the other rams, we may need to create his own area, with a buddy. More sheep adventures!
