Now that my ram is freezer-meat, I've put a deposit on a new baby ram for this year. I keep hearing folks talk about a cattle-prod to manage aggression. Has anyone tried using an electric dog-training collar on young rams, to jolt them whenever they take a challenge-stance?? Would that work? Or is the "juice" not enough to discourage developing that behavior? I ask because I'd like to instantly correct any Ideas while the boy is a "grade-schooler" - hoping to head off that type of crap when he gets older.

My ram is ramburger too. I never had to use a shock collar or a prod on him. He was terrified of plastic bags, so I shook a plastic grocery bag at him and chased him. LOL I am raising a replacement. I am not making a pet of him. We'll see how this goes.
