Presently I have 3 adult (with horns)Rams.
I can go into their stalls any time. I was even in there on a ladder hanging
flystrips. They are no problem.  BUT I DON'T TRUST THEM FOR ONE MINUTE.  And
I NEVER attempt to contact them or pat them.
They stay the heck away from me. They are afraid of me and they have never
been encouraged to believe I am nice (some people think that too!! LOL).

Any handling is done only for foot trimming and worming. I DON'T TRY TO MAKE
PETS OUT THEM.  Any bottle ram lambs are freezer meat.

I just wonder why people try to make something out of animals that they are
not. I love them to pieces. But when I want affection and gratitude, I turn
to my hubby and my dogs (resepectively, LOL)
