There is quite a mix of breeds here. However, the ram (the one in the harness) has only one thing on his mind - to further mix up the gene pool! NB the harness holds a dyed pad which transfers colour to the back of any mounted ewe. That way the farmer knows which ewes have been serviced, often by which ram if a range of colours are used.
