Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - Whiskers Needs A Hair Cut

Whiskers would be my most favourite Arapawa Ram that I have ever had the pleasure to farm. 

He is a fantastic looking boy, crowned with a great set of horns.

He has a calm demeanor and when the other boys play up, he will rush in to stop the drama. All the other Arapawa's look up to him. 

He will always come to say hello, loves a rub, and gets very excited if you have a treat for him. 

Some rams you need to be wary of, but Whiskers has always been respectful of our relationship... I feel we "get" each other.

As the weather warms up, that big wooly coat he has on, we know shearing time is near... so it's time to start thinking about a little grooming before he is reunited with the ladies :)
