I have watched him around his girls. I figure it works like my stud and the mares, etc. I was waiting to hear more on the guards some one was talking about. I know goat people that have used them but I dont know if they would even fit our little guys.

Carry a stick for an emergency. My experience with rams that are struck routinely is that they will hurt you sometime in the future. Be real aware of your position in the herd. Make sure there is not a ewe in heat. And for sure don't get between the ram and the ewe! The American Barbado normally seem to get agressive with age. If you like the ram and he is doing great things for your herd, keep him! Just make sure you don't get in his way. The worst thing is to make a pet out of a breeding ram! I personally saw a horned ram put a 3000# bull on the ground with one blow to the midsection, knocking the wind out the bull.
