How dangerous is it for lambs to get into the pen with adult rams?
– – Our experience is that it is just the opposite of dangerous. The rams are usually quite curious and protective of the lambs. For many years we put the weaned lambs in the pasture with the rams. Each year, the rams would choose a different baby sitter who would spend all his time with the lambs while the other rams went on about their business. The lambs climbed all over him and there was definitely a lot of communication and learning going on even though we didnt hear anything.
