Re: [Blackbelly] ABB Rams fighting video
Bottle rams are dangerous. The harmless behavior is not harmless anymore after enter a rut season. They cannot help themselves, and have no inhibition with people when they should. Much safer to castrate all bottle babies. On Jan 7, 2014, at 4:01 PM, blackbelly-requ...@lists.blackbellysheep.info wrote: On Jan 6, 2014, at 6:45 PM, R.

Re: [Blackbelly] ABB Rams fighting video
Michael, I watched it as well! It was awesome to see. We recently had our friendly - petting zoo type ram turn. :) Since we run with up to 20 rams and have separate breeding pens for about 8 each year, he realized he didn't get his turn this year. After jumping the fences into the breeding pens twice and threatening my hubby, we finally had to put him in a very high fenced 6 x 6 for the last month. Now that all the rams are out of the breeding pens and all back together, he is back to normal. A simple reminder of how Mother Nature works is thought provoking at best.

Be careful with your bottle ram. Not sure how old he is, but Marley, the one watching from the side, with the long horns, is a bottle ram and would just as soon kill me if he had the chance. He'll take a full charge like these two in the video, but at me! Harpo, the aggressor was working over the second in command. As I mentioned on the caption of the video, I'm not sure yet if he moved rank or not. -MWS Sent from my iPad On Jan 6, 2014, at 6:45 PM, R. Natasha Baronas meadowskuv...@gmail.com wrote: Wow!

[Blackbelly] ABB Rams fighting video
I'm posting a link to this video I happened to capture, for those of you who don't have multiple rams and have not seen this up close before. While it is awe-inspiring to watch, you can tell by my voice as I record it, I take no pleasure in watching two of my rams fight like this. Ultimately, neither was harmed. The description of what is happening and why, is in the video caption. -Michael Smith, Perino Ranch Blackbellies http://youtu.be/fnAw_zVofm8 ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
