We were blessed (?) with three beautiful shetland rams this spring. One set of twins. I would like to sell the twins but am concerned about whether I can pasture them with my other ram until and if they are sold. Their dad is not passive but not aggressive either. We have a wither with him and they get along fine. I am concerned with keeping the young rams with him once they have matured. I plan to keep the third ram lamb as a replacement ram so he also would be pastured with his dad. Can any one give me some advice. I don't want to have to pasture each ram seperately...too much fencing! Thanks.
rams usualy fight around breeding season I had a ram kill another ram when they where fighting I do not know about shetlands and there temperment just try it and if they start fightin nasty seperate em
I have three rams and a wether in a pasture together. They seem to have gotten there pecking order sorted out. None are highly agressive, however. I guess it all depends upon the rams.
Just bought a flock myself...so very new at this. But I have two rams. The shepherd I bought them from told me that when I put the rams together, I should put them in a VERY small area for 24 to 36 hours (so small that they cannot back up and butt), and when you let them out they will be fine. She keeps 7 rams of 4 different breeds together. I have spoken to other shepherds, and they have concurred. Just an idea you may want to check out. Mine are with ewes now, so haven't tried it yet!
