Loving the herd life
Grain is a sure way to their hearts and my black bellies loooooove horse crunchies - altho they are so big the sheep cant close their mouths to chew them.
I currently have 5 rams, not a single agressive one in the lot, that just wont be tolerated here, esspecially with their heads being weaponized. Got a dumb one but thats about as dangerous as he is, he forgets how wide his head is and takes your legs out when walking past you to close.
Most dont acknowledge me really, I am there but not of any concern. I get to handle the girls without having to watch my back or anything.
Of course one does have to watch the horns when they mob me for the grain, they sometimes forget they have them(like when they try to get into the bucket and panick cause it gets stuck on their headgear and they start swinging those heads.... luckily they have handles to hold them by to get the bucket off.)
All of my rams will take treats off my hands, my pure mouflon ram lets me touch him when he has his grain, the rest dont allow for pettings really(not trying hard either, as long as they are calm and relaxed in my presents I am happy), my one ABB does let me use him to get up the icy hill, he does not mind me gripping the hair on top of his butt to hold onto
Doesnt like any other touch strangely enough.
