Well that last dangle was just bad....needs a good shave! :lol: They are soooo low that if he was startled and ran, he'd beat himself to death.:hide

You know, it kinda reminds me of ole granny, from the front!

Not a chance if the owner of the sheep is knowlegable. Sperm production requires lower tempertures so the testicles are lowered away from the rams' body to lower temperature. Wool breeds such as the Marino , Ramboulett, etc. that have lots of wool on their scrotums keep their testicles as close to the ground as they can . The rams have the ability to raise the tesicles next to their body during cold weather , when running of playing/ fighting, then lower them when the temperature rises, or at rest. This goes for all mammals.

I know, Bossroo, I was just making a joke. Believe it or not, I have been know to be totally inappropriate at times....kinda proud of myself of keeping it so clean in a post about ram scrotums. :lol::lol::lol:

@frustratedearthmother get a glass or two of that wine and let 'er rip! :gig

My daughter is at that awkward age (3) where she'll look at a male critter, in our case our buck, and go... Huh, is that where the milk comes from? So I'm very happy to not have a well endowed ram on our property :lol:

When our now 9 year old grand daughter was that age, her parents had answered her questions truthfully. So she looked under my donkey and announced HE HAS A PENIS. :lol:

Hahaha! Well she always asks them in front of people. I'm all for honesty, just maybe not in front of company. However this breeding season I'm afraid of what I'm going to have to explain!

This discussion is just NUTS (whoops,wrong word there).

Roving Jacobs....that ram look like he needs a scrotal support.

Just WHY do they have to be so big and low slung?

Yeah, really. It looks like he'd beat them to bruises against his ankles. I guess the ladies like it though.

Conversation between two ewes;
#1 Just look at those dangling dingle-thingies!
#2 Oh I AM looking! I know who I want my Lammy-Daddy to be!
#1 Not if I get there first!
#2 Relax, from the size of those dangling dingle-thingies, there's enough for ALL of us!

There is a White Dorper ram in Oregon that bred over 300 ewes ( 150 in first group followed by another group over 150 ) and got all of them PREGNANT in ONE breeding season. :ep
