You can put them out on pasture or you can pen them up in a barn. It's recommended you keep them away from any ewes unless you're breeding them.

Like they are kept in a shed for around 2-4 yrs and lets out on a sunny day and feed very good feed so they produce large amounts of wool and are of a bigger frame compared to paddock rams. Here's a picture of a housed ram. http://www.haddonrig.com.au/Document1.aspx?id=2560

I Googled it, and I came across this: http://www.woolproducers.com.au/policy-and-issues/health-and-welfare/housed-sheep/ - It just gives you information ABOUT it, not how to actually carry it out.
