Thanks. I might be ready to cull some rams if I have some particularly good
lambs this year. Actually hoping for ewes. Had all boys last time.

Over thing occurred to me, the folks who don't have multiple rams may not know

This is a very rare occurrence. A battle like this happens maybe once a year,
or when I remove a ram for breeding then put him back. Otherwise, they sit
