Yakul the Katahdin Ram showing off his fresh paddock in the maple sugar bush

In seasons past the rams have had full access to this 2 acre stand of sugar maple trees to eat all the vegetation keeping the forest floor open for when I tap the trees in the winter. This year, I have been paddock shifting them through the woods about 1/2acre at a time. The perimeter fence needs an overhaul and won't do a good job of keeping the rams contained. Until I find time to tackle that fencing project, these rams will move through the sugar bush one paddock at at time.
