Is it the season?

Was greeted by a bloody sight when I went out this morning. Thought at first it was coyote and we had a big problem on our hands. A closer look revealed a much different story. Boots and Timmi got into it again and Boots got the worst of it. Looks like both horn buds were ripped off and he bled all over Timmi as they battled.

 I hope these things do not grow back. Boots' bloody head...

Timmi, looking like a bloody punching bag.

Poor Boots clearly has a headache today. Hopefully, they have worked out their issues as they seem to be best friends again.

Hattie will be disappointed not to work the boys today.

A bunch of bucks have been hanging around the last few weeks. Bob counted nine one morning. Four were in the field resting this morning, in the process of shedding velvet. Is it a coincidence that the sheep are acting hormonal at the same time the deer are agitated and rubbing their antlers everywhere?
