My ram is extremely easy to handle (Hampshire Down) - I can check his feet by picking them up like you would a horse and I just catch him, put the halter on and tie him to the fence for any other jobs such as dagging, worming, spraying etc. He is a very big chap but easier in many ways than several of my smaller ewes. On saying that, he is not very flexible when it comes to shearing and out of all the sheep Philip sheared for me last year, it was Mowgli (the ram) that looked the most difficult for him. Mowgli just does not have the bendability of the ewes and in addition didn't like the clippers over the top of his head/face!
