Hercules has been fetched home from the wilds of Oregon, bidding his erstwhile harem of studded ewes farewell. Tomorrow we anticipate many battles between him and Bolivar and possibly Mitey; for tonight, returning as he did in the dark of night, he seems content to munch hay and settle in.

Tomorrow Mitey's various brides must be examined - not medically but for their tag numbers so we know which ones they are. Once we know, we can let the flocks mingle as one.

We think we've found a way to keep the geese from the workshop, but we're not completely sure of its efficacy yet. The new cat tools at least have helped keep things cleaner.
