why are they painted green? L
Anita Nicholson replied:
Good question - at breeding time when the rams join the ewe flock they might be fitted with a crayon harness round their chest or have their brisket painted. As they go round mating the ewes, the colour will transfer onto the females’ rumps, leaving a clear indication of where the ram has been..
