ram and wether
« on: May 30, 2015, 10:39:05 am »
My ryeland ram has been in a field on his own beside the ewes but I now have a 14 month old wether that I want to put in with him.

What is the best way to do this?  Just put him in and leave them or pen up close together?

Can you put them in adjacent fields so they can see and smell each other for a while first?

I would just put them in together.  The wether won't fight, but will just get humped a lot  :hugsheep:  I'm sure they'll get along fine  ;D
