    Ewe butting heads with the ram

    I found my ram and one of my ewes backing up a little and butting heads, I have also seen her do this to the others when she gets excitable. Is it aggressive at all?

    Breeding question

    I have a herd of five dorper/katahdin mixes, one of which is a ram. They are all 2-3 months old. I was told to separate the male because he can start mating at this time but if the ewes aren't ready until they are at least 6 months old than what's the purpose of seperation? And how early can...

    What do I feed my sheep?

    I got a herd of sheep recently and they are on long lush grass all the time. I feed them loose minerals as well. I'm still not sure of all that I'm supposed to feed them/supplement on a daily basis. I don't want them to be lacking in any area.

    Breeding mixes?

    I have a herd of 5 sheep, 1 is a ram. They are Dorper/Katahdin mixes and I would like to breed them. I plan on getting more dorper/katahdin males to breed for more diversity. My question is, after a couple generations would the sheep revert back to their original breed?

    Ah that makes sense considering they usually make that face when they are next to another sheep's butt from my experience.

    Will sheep bite me?

    My sheep like to come up to the fence and lick my hands but they seem to get a little carried away and try to get my hand in their mouth. Since they don't have top teeth, can they bite me? And if I keep my hand flat can they still get my skin?

    How do I keep a ram?

    I recently got 4 ewes and a ram, all lambs still. I know when he hits the 3-4 month mark he has to be separated but I know I can't keep him alone. I don't know the best situation to have him in once he's separated because I have also been told keeping rams together is a bad idea. I want to breed...
