That's a great question....I'd like to know what others do. We currently have 2 rams. Our 1st ram was a bottle lamb and was very friendly and gentle when we...
After keeping just 1 ram for 3 yrs I decided that perhaps the ram needs a friend. So, in my case, I've found it much better to keep 2 rams rather than just 1...
This is such a unique topic. Like the way we run our farms, everyone has a different idea and way of doing things. I've heard over and over not to touch...
As far as keeping them from getting mean, I haven't got any suggestions, but for putting them together, a long time sheep friend once told me what she always...
Whenever I've introduced rams or put them back together after breeding, I've done what Bob did with the small pen inside a stall. Once, I had two mature rams...

My second ram that I talked about is one of Laurie's rams and how she raised him seemed to work. He has never tried to come after me, even during breeding...
I heard and have implemented the same technique as Bob; small pen for a few days, let them rub each others scents around, then remove the small pen. But ...
My ideas are slightly different to avoid getting hit by a ram because I always wanted to be able to catch my ram without him being fearful of me and very hard...
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents, I try to keep 2 rams also, If for no other reason, a back up is nice to have around, I change my rams often as of yet I havn't...
I guess I have been very lucky. My rams have been very respectful of me and my space. My rams have all been good natured and very tame. They are all ex show...
I agree with all of you about small pens, not turning your back, and scratching only on the chest. I have never had agression in any of my Tunis rams, but have...
I tried a ram shield w/ my first ram as I couldn't convince my husband that we needed to get rid of him. The sheep store told me that one size fits all. ...

When do you introduce the halter to your rams? Do you wait until after they're weaned? Since we're talking about halters....do you halter-train your ewes...
Once I know they are keepers or will be sold as breeders,,,they are halter broke...same with the ewe lambs. Jim just feeds them in a small area...and they get...
I try to halter break them when they are small. It gets harder on your body the older they get. We tie them up for 3 days in a row for about 15 minutes. Then...
Ok I have a new question to pose the group. I know I should buy a barn camera but due to economy I have put off this purchase. Now its cold and lambing can be...
