Ram Scrotal Girth

Are we any worse than goatie people posting pics of does vulvas? And asking for opinions on her nearness to giving birth? We sheepies are just trying to catch up!

Goat butts haunt me! They look like creepy faces and their tails are always up, showing it off. Ick!!!

I was waiting for someone to mention boar balls...those are pretty ridiculous!! I saw a FB picture earlier of a boar with massive balls and he had a big ol poo parked right on it! Like a table!

I always wonder about wooly rams in summer and laying down. How do they no sit on them or smoosh them in some way?? They hang down sooooo low! My guys sometimes have less wool on the bottoms, lol.

Well,I have to hand the crown to Angora Goatees...... Local agricultural show, pretty hot.....goats in a tent. There stood a beautiful Angora Goat, all curls and cutesy looking, but with balls that were hanging on the floor.....

Rams lie as normal in the summer, with their package sort of out to the side. They look comfortable enough. My rams, pictured above, are very large sheep, standing about a metre and a half at the shoulder.....their scrotums reach their knees at tupping time. Smaller sheep seem to have 'em even lower slung.

Rams jump fences to get to the ewes in season, it's surprising that they don't leave everything behind on the fence!

I have angoras and can confirm that that have quite the dangle going on. Watching them run is quite the sight.

These pics are from much earlier this spring but they show the really big difference in how the different breeds hold their boys. They jacobs keep them high and tight but my fine wools practically let them drag on the ground. And yes I just happen to have these pictures on hand. No measurements here though!

(My dog was clearly scandalized in this pic)

Wow. That's kind of frightening!

Hmmm......reckon I could market a jock strap for rams?

WHEN YOUR RAM'S DINGLES DANGLE TOO LOW
RAISE THEM OFF THE GROUND WITH A DINGLE SLING!!

I could get rich off this one......

You'll see me on Shark Tank with a well endowed ram and a DINGLE SLING trying to convince that I've hit on a money making venture!

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.

Don't say anything....keep your mouth shut...stop right now....

Whew! I almost blew it....woulda been totally inappropriate. I'm so proud of myself right now! (good thing I haven't had wine yet - I lose my filter when I have wine)

But kinda makes me re-think an angora sweater!

Although I think @Baymule was joking, you are 100% correct.
