We manage our stallions in bachelor herds in winter, so they live with other stallions, geldings, bucks, rams, and are protected from predators by our livestock guardian dogs. In this photo, 1dr Kjaman is walking to the right, and D+ Elko is on the right eating.
Fair Acres Ole never lived among small ruminants or other stallions, and only got to pasture breed for one year before we purchased him at 24 years old. He transitioned to living in a herd easily and enjoyed constant companionship on our farm for the remainder of his days.
Fair Acres Ole was a special one. He was blue evaluated and one of the best draft types in the breed here in the USA at the time, per the NFHR Evaluator. He could also be ridden completely tackless.
