Busy Spring

First of all, I would like to introduce you to Bernie. He will be a very important sheep here in the coming years. He is going to be my new ram (aka daddy). As soon as he was born, I knew that he would make a terrific ram for us here at ODF. He is half Romney and half Polypay. His mom is Daisy the Polypay and his dad is Bo, my favorite sheep in the world. I was thrilled to get so many Bo babies this year. Last year, we did not get even one. You see, Bo only has one testicle. When he was born, it was decided that he would be castrated and eventually go to the slaughter house. When we were castrating him, only one testicle was “dropped”. The vet deduced that he was monorchism and removed that testicle and we thought that was the end of that. But, thank God! Bo’s life took a different turn. His other testicle eventually dropped, his phenomenal personality developed, and we all fell in love with him. He was not leaving ODF. And we crossed our fingers hoping that the one testicle might one day produce a heir.

Bo and his babies will be with us for a very long time!
