Reintroduction blues. Yesterday we re-introduced a ram from the breeding pens back into the main ram group. There was a new hierarchy in the rams, coupled with...
When we reintroduce or just put new rams in we always put them all in a small pen for 24 hours or so depending on the size of rams and feed them immediately....
It is absolutely essential to reintroduce smartly. With mature rams, I put them into a very ocnfined area, literally so they cannot move then bundle a tight...
Thankfully we have not had the serious injury Duane is describing, but our breeding rams always get picked on when they return to the ram pen after breeding...
