On our small farm we currently breed about 65 ewes and we use 3 rams to get all the ewes bred. Our rams weigh anywhere from 250 to 350 pounds and tend to have a bit of mean streak in them. Nine months out of the year, we keep the rams penned up to avoid someone getting hurt...like me. In order to keep them from getting lonely, we try to keep another sheep with them. Recently, I had all three rams break out of their pens in a single day!
