[Victoria da Roza]

Hi all you shepherds.  This is a question from a small
breeder.   I had 2 ewes with the ram and then
seperated them.   The yearling ewe is now with a
wether and the older ewe.  My question is if the
yearling is bred.
   The wether is licking her face, they stay together
a lot and they will back up and then just touch horns
lightly and rub necks. Should I take this as breeding
behavoir?
    If it is, should I put her back in with the ram
this late or just wait for next year?
