Bullwinkle has the sweetest temperament of all our rams, so it's not surprising that I have grown rather attached to him. When I would let the boys out of their pen in the morning, Bullwinkle would always stay behind and nuzzle me. He just seemed to want to be close by. So part of my morning chores was to pet little Bullwinke's head and remark how large his ears still are. It was getting harder and harder for me to think about taking him to market and when a farmer in Union Grove called up looking for a breeding ram, I breathed a great sigh of relief. Bullwinkle is going to a new home to be the daddy of a flock of sheep over 40 strong. He's going to have a lot of fun and I'm glad for him. Although, it was harder than most to say goodbye. Here are the last photos I took of his last morning at Bear Valley Farm. Farewell Bullwinkle, you brought a lot of joy to this farmer's heart.
