If ya want to stick with RAM names...ya could call hime RAMbunctious....since he seems fairly energetic......personally, I'd call him Alfalfa and it doesn't have anything to do with the feed. In the pic the hair between his ears sticking up, reminds me of a character many yrs ago that many of us older folks grew up watching...The Little Rascals...or Our Gang series....he had some that stuck up some like that....unless he had it slicked back.....

I have to say he’s a very cute little guy and looks much happier than Eeyore! I’d name his Foster. Don’t know why...he just looks like a Foster to me! Lol

Hah i greq up with the little rascals so i know what you are talking about.

And @Latestarter why not? just kidding we needed a guardian for our rams once they were separated from the flock and his buddy was already taken away from him and sold so the poor cute lil guy was just standing there all alone in the ring... the only other guy to bid on him was a guy who buys for the meet market so that kinda got us to step up quick and put in a bid.

He's darling I do think Alfalfa fits him nicely (I grew up watching The Little Rascals too ).

That picture with Ramsey makes me nervous. I know you say he is gentle, so was my Ras. I gave him tons of attention, those cuddles and kisses turned into rubbing his face on me. That turned into nudging me which seems cute at first which turned into slamming his head into my lower leg. Eventually I couldnt be around him for long periods of time because of how "loving" he got. Thankfully he had a appointment scheduled with the vet to get wethered when his behavior started getting really bad. I know I told you this before and Im glad he is still gentle but he is at that age(little over a year) when that loving turns into aggression. It happened with our first Ram and with Ras. Just please be careful, I have been hurt by a ram before and I wouldnt wish that on anyone.

Kind of you to warn Newton @luvmypets

@luvmypets I fully understand why you are worried, I am always careful around him and my cousins are never unsupervised. Ramsey and Romeo have now been separated from the main flock and spunk will be separated soon. No fast movements around the rams and only adults feed the flock since everyone gets a little too excited and pushy. I am doing all i can to prevent the turning of Ramsey and romeo. And I'm sorry to hear about your boy turning on you

Im glad you are being super careful, we learned the hard way with our first ram, but as with anything it was a learning experience.

OK... congrats I guess... just one question... why?

I was wondering the same but so far the reasons have been valid. I think.
