A happy accident

Somehow this morning one of the gates between the adult males and the juvenile males became unhooked.

We really didn't notice this until after lunch when we are working in the barn area. I glanced up to see that the juveniles had entered the forbidden territory of the adults. They were all happily grazing together without incident, perhaps because they have been fence-mates for quite some time.

We were planning to introduce them at the end of the breeding season to ensure a smooth transition. We need not have worried, as nature takes care of things herself.
