Rut Season

With Autumn upon us we'll need to separate our two young bulls, Everest and Jelly Baba. Everest is 2 years old and Jelly is a bit over 3 years now. It would probably be fine to let them run together for another winter season, but we're deciding on the side of caution. I don't want them fighting. Jelly just might become too much for the more mellow, and younger, Everest. Fights between camels are to be seriously avoided.

Since they moved into these large pastures, last November, the whole group of six have been running together, which has been great for them, and us. Now, with the bulls soon to be separated we'll have to decide which cows will keep company with which bull. As much as we can we'll take into account their individual friendships and characters as we decide.

The gates and fences have to be up to it as well, at least in the early days as we all get used to the new set-up.

Funding is always a challenge, as this is a non-profit project, 100% reliant upon donations by people who are behind what we are doing, or behind what we are attempting to do.

It'll be an interesting few days when we break the herd into two areas.
