RE: [blackbelly] confused!!!

Ok I am now confused. We bought our sheep for my son to use in 4H. Is it a bad idea for him to use a ram?? We are currently getting our ram used to a halter. (bad idea???) He is still very shy of us, as is our female. Our sheep and goats are more like our outside pets. Will we regret this later?? Brad and Aimee __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [blackbelly] confused!!!
Depends on how old your ram is. If he's under 2.5 years, then your son will be able to handle him just fine, probably. Most 4-H animals are sold for slaughter right after the fair, so I'm assuming that your son won't be handling him afterwards, right? If that is not the case, then yes, you will regret keeping that ram around past his third birthday. Carol At 08:06 AM 7/26/2005 -0700, you wrote: Ok I am now confused.
