I had a problem last year with 2 14 month old rams that I had bought and raised from age 4 months... They were in a pen around the house for "yard work" and decided to get out to the ewes and lambs... When I cought them in the shed to put them back in the yard, they lowered their horns and one attempted to charge and butt me..... Since I am rather large (325 labs) I sidestepped him and caught the horns, and twisted him onto his back. I then dragged his sorry butt back through both gates and into the yard. I did not just turn him loose, I threw him into the yard... The other one got the same treatment when he lowered his head at me when I returned to get him...
I never had any more trouble... They were both fine in the morning...
Sometimes animals need to sort out the pecking order. I helped it along a little.
Just my $0.02....
