It took two of our favorite guys to es**rt 10-month old Lucky out of the barn. Why the stubborn face, Lucky? Because he wanted to stay with the ladies (hembras)!
As cute as it is, it's super important for young males like him to be separated from the females.
🔹 Breeding Boundaries: At 10 months old, these young guys are quickly becoming mature enough to breed.
🔹 Mom Needs a Break: The moms deserve a well-earned rest from nursing before our upcoming breeding season begins!
🔹 Gentlemen's Club: It’s time for him to learn how to be "one of the boys" and figure out herd life.
We are incredibly lucky (pun intended!) because our young male herd is exceptionally calm, so his integration has been smooth sailing.
Did you know?
In many herds, breeders actually have to maintain two separate male pastures, one for the more dominant, aggressive boys (machos), and a "nursery" pasture for the docile males where the young ones (crias) can safely learn the herd hierarchy before moving up to the big leagues.
And yes, for his safety and ours, we are working at halter training him.
