<< I just have to ask how long has it taken for him to become less fearful? I have just begun to start a herd. At this time I have one adult ewe and a young poled ram.

He's nearing 8 months old (about 5+ months on our property). I keep my eye on him because he can quickly be behind me, but has never tried to ram. The outgoing, leader ewe has very little fear comes right up to us to see if we've brought anything good to eat. They definately think everytime they see a bucket, it's something good to eat. Now, both girls will run towards me, just on hearing or seeing me. The ram follows.
