Greetings all
First time post and new to raising sheep. I'm located in Nicaragua at over 1600m(mile high) where the temp stays in the 60s low 70s year around. Intensive rotational grazing 15 head.
Been studying on the need to manage the ram and keep him separate from the flock.
What happens if my ram stays with the flock? What kind of problems will I run into or is it ok? Ram has been with the flock for the past 3 months and haven't observed any issues.
Thanks for any insight.

Lambs happen! 😉
I separated my ram the first go around once the lambs were born. 27 sheep here in Southern California. Weather warm year round (cold for us is in the 40s winter - and highs 90-100 in the summer with nights in the 60s).
Still new to the raising them there are others here who have lifetimes of experience.
