RE: [blackbelly] Re: Oh No!!! A Friendly Ram!
Seems to me that if he is already 4+ years old, he's not likely to become a problem. Unless he is still just getting situated, and will change when he gets the lay of the land. I've known dogs to suppress their temperament and personality, until they get comfortable, then they seem to suddenly change.

Keep an eye on him and don't try to turn him into a pet. The three year old ram I butchered and turned into ground meat. This is the oldest ram I have processed and the meat is great!

A Friendly Ram! That's a interesting story and I have a similar one. A ram was born on my property about 4 months ago, I've never handled him and always kept my distance but I do spend alot of time out in the pasture dealing with other animals and just hanging out. When it's feeding time he'll come right up to me ready for me to pour it. Even when I come without food he does not act like he's scared I could walk right up to him and he may make a minimal effort to take a few steps out of my way but if I were intending to catch him I could very easily. Should I be concerned?? It seems he's gotten very use to me being around and doesn't see me as a threat. He's young and harlmess now, but I know he could potentially be a big problem later. What should a do? ___ This message is from the Blackbelly-blackbellysheep.info mailing list Visit the list's homepage at Blackbelly-blackbellysheep.info@lists.blackbellysheep.info http://lists.blackbellysheep.info/listinfo.cgi/blackbelly-blackbellysheep.info
