I picked up new gates on the weekend. We had decided to hang 2 gates across the width of the barn to divide it between the boys and girls. Up until now we've been using 1 long gate which had to be moved everyday - and it was heavy and unwieldy and annoying. The 2 gates would meet at the middle, and since they would hang on hinges they would be easy to move.
We hung them Sunday. Well this morning Michele went into the barn to feed everyone and found that one of the boys had managed to lift a gate up off the hinges. So there had been uncontrolled mating all night. One big frat party!
It's impossible to tell what the outcome will be - we had already had some planned breeding sessions, but hadn't confirmed any pregnancies. So.... in a few months we'll know if the girls are knocked up!
