Well, so far mine is totally fine unless he wants pellets. Even then, he's butting the ewes and not me. He's a tiny breed of sheep with no horns, so you guys saying extreme danger is just too much. Anyway, he lives with the girls and horses, so no friends needed.
If he rams you in the knee sideways, your knee will be destroyed. No matter how small he is.

I'd be concerned he's butting the ewes. Make sure he doesn't get them in their stomach--they may abort.

My neighbor's Babydoll ram that sired the 2009 lamb crop broke my almost 80-year old neighbor's leg. He got shipped.

Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
I know he's the perfect height to break my knee, he's gotten me once earlier in the year but I got him back. I'm not saying I'm not watching him, I am. If his head is up and he is calmly following me, he is fine or grazing and ignoring me. I've been sitting between them since the first day he got grumpy over the pellets.

No matter the size, rams are powerful. That head is hard. You cannot be too careful.

Liz who is going to be enjoying some ram here in the next couple weeks!
