Today we introduced the yearling males to the adult guys for the first time.
Now that barn renovations are complete and the fence and gates are operational we moved the "teenagers" into the pasture right next to the studs. There was much male posturing, tail raising and nose sniffing along the fence, but the whole thing was less exciting than anticipated. This is good.
The young guys will remain in the new pasture for the day; I want to keep an eye on things and then back home for the night. The final "move in" day will be Saturday which will give us a couple of days to monitor behaviour before we go back to work.
