HEAVY LOAD! Selling Breeding Rams!

Video: HEAVY LOAD! Selling Breeding Rams!

We are selling breeding rams today at Ewetopia Farms. This was quite the heavy load of yearling Suffolk and Dorset rams. Watch as we let the customer select the breeding stock he will use on his ewes at his farm. We ran them free first so he could watch them move, and then it was through the sheep chute to get a closer look at each ram individually. Finally, it was trying to load eleven rams weighing around 300 pounds each on to the trailer - easier said than done!
