Teaching to be gentle

[Farmercharliesblog]

My sheep are not being gentle. They used to play with us but now they are big and stronger than they were before. My dog and oldest sheep will play rough and chasing each other but this morning happy (my oldest) ran across the entire pen and body slammed our dog into the fence. Our dog when flying. ( not too far though.) Before school me and my mom were taking shifts holding ice packs on him. He is still limping.

Bet the offending sheep was a ram? This is what we stress about rams being unpredictable and dangerous. Sorry dog got hurt. These attacks could easily break bones

You have taught them to play. Now they are big and play isn’t cute anymore. They don’t respect you and have no fear of you. Are they all wethers?
