Dorper/Blackbelly Ram -PICTURES!!

[Parsnip]

lol I have how he's going to stay with us all planned out in my head.
My dad thinks he'll be too dangerous. BUT AREN'T ALL RAMS DANGEROUS?
It's not like I'm going to crawl into his pen and sit with him lol

He'll be "quarantined" for a while before I put him with the ladies.
I don't really plan to have any contact with him other than feeding him and giving him water.
Last time we had rams here, they were pretty chill once they got their grain and ladies.

 

[Parsnip]

Yes!
I don't want him to breed with Wendy and MaryEllen for a few more months, so I'd keep them separate.

Oh wow. My first lamb is already 3 ½ weeks old!

My ram has never shown the slightest hint of aggression and I am in with him all the time. Sometimes he looks at me with his big, kind eyes and it seems like he's trying to figure something out. Other times he'll come up and sniff whatever I am holding. He's not handleable so if I were to reach and try to touch him, he'd move away, but no, not all rams are dangerous (though I know some are, so your dad's fears are not completely groundless).

 

[Parsnip]

Haha, what an awesome ram!
I really want to see how our guy acts once he's settled down at our place.
I bet once he has grain and ladies he'll be good to go

Our first lambs are 32 days old

Speaking of lambs, at what age can they begin to reproduce?
( I know not for a while now for the ram lambs )
I was watching the younger ram lamb today, Marty, and he was ya know, mounting Irene and Samson and Jillian, I figured for dominance and what not.
Then, he mounted Jillian and started doing some hip action and stuff.
THEN he went over to Wendy and stuck his little nose right up to her vulva!
I'm sure she was quite offended, because she turned on Marty.
But as soon as she went back to her food, Marty did it again, and kicked his front leg out like rams do.
Plus he attempted to mount her, but he's quite small, so nothing worked lol.
He followed her around for a while sniffing her lady bits, not interested in her udder at all .... -_-
It stopped after a while...

But JEEZ. He's acting more ram-y than Samson, and he's half Samson's age. :/

 

[Parsnip]

YES
Plans to pick up the ram Saturday morning are all set in stone now!
GAH just so excited to get this guy

He really is a good looking guy, very masculine.
