One of our herd sires exhibits the VERY same behavior right before (within 3 or 4 days) his ewes give birth. He even trys to mount them at times. We discussed this with the vet and he said that Jr. (the ram) has the keen ability to be able to detect hormone changes in the ewes. He's got it right when we said "there's no way she's due!!" I'm telling you ........if he is running around sniffing with that lip curled and we know good-and-well that she's bred..........it's baby time!!
