We moved the rams and the bottle lambs into our backyard. The rams will stay until November, when they will breed. The lambs until they are weaned.
I have about half an acre in my backyard, which should be able to feed, easily, 4 sheep. I haven’t setup a rotational system yet, but I plan on making 6 paddocks and just rotating them twice a week. I bought a cheap fence charger to power hotwire. I’ll try to use the same wires I use with the sheep so that the rams won’t be surprised when I move them into the pasture.
One thing I am also doing is hand-feeding sweet feed to the rams. This is to train them to come to us and not run away. I’ll need to catch them and I don’t have a pen in my backyard! When they get super friendly I might put a halter on them so they are easier to grab.
