When do hobs come off heat? - Also a Ferreting question

[Haystack 11]

My 3 hobs have been on heat for months now, with Balls the size of marbles and have been making a hell of a racket every night.

 

When do they come off heat?.

 

Also, two of my hobs have developed a really annoying habbit of running off, it's really strange. They where fine at the beguining of the season, but they'll come out of a hole, Hunch there back up and run off in a random direction as fast as they can!, can this be stopped as it's making them unworkable.

Don't assume anything.

 

I've worked Jills for Years, first year with hobs.

 

Cheers anyhow.

september /october before they come out of season

well mate if ye have spent years working jills, then the hob have the exact same length of time in heat

 

IME, the hobs come in rut a month or two before the jills start coming in heat, and go out of rut about a month or so later.
