Re: [Blackbelly] Putting two rams in 1 pen

[Tracy Wessel]

I can't help you with your fencing but my two rams are friends and  
hang together, though fighting ensues if a ewe is in heat. They are  
both due to the butcher and I plan to separate my 3 ram lambs from  
the flock before they can breed as I'm ready to reduce the flock a  
bit. Those 3 will live together until they go to the butcher. I just  
have field fencing electric on 11 acres with quite a bit of cross  
fencing. So when separating the rams from the flock, I'll keep a  
field in between. Previously my rams have been with the flock year  
round. I will either put them in a 1.5 acre field, or my 100x300 pen.
