Seems to me that if he is already 4+ years old, he's not likely to become a problem. Unless he is still just getting situated, and will change when he gets the "lay of the land". I've known dogs to suppress their temperament and personality, until they get comfortable, then they seem to suddenly change.

I forgot to mention that my new ram is very mature (4+ years old).  I have
had young rams that were friendly grow up to be mean.  And I have had some
that have grown up to be "perfect gentlemen".  Adhering to the "you leave me
alone and I'll leave you alone" policy.  If you like the ram lamb give him a
chance.  Keep an eye on him and don't try to turn him into a pet.  The three
year old ram I butchered and turned into ground meat.  This is the oldest
ram I have processed and the meat is great!
