We have some new sheep that arrived at the farm today, and we need to get them ready for sale. The first thing we need to do is give them a basic checkup!

Wauuuuu this is a huge ram
Yeah. He’s a little on the beefy side. 😂
Only other thing I look for in rams is temperament. Yes, they can get a bit worked up and that's normal but if they're super flightly and afraid to be handled at all, that's a concern and if they're overly aggressive (particularly rams), it's a hard no for me. I want animals I can handle and don't get stressed out easily, that I don't have to constantly watch my back around.
Good point. Aggression is a huge thing to look out for with rams and bucks! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a helpful tip. 😎
I am debating on whether or not to get some sheep. I raise goats as my "cash" (one of these days it will be) livestock. But I have always enjoyed lamb. If I got sheep it would be mainly to raise meat for our use. I have raised a steer before, but with cattle prices shooting higher, I don't think I can afford to get one this year. Katahdin is a very popular breed in my area.
Katahdin are a good breed to start with and are generally low maintenance compared to some of the other hair breeds and most wool breeds. I think that would be a good breed to go with, especially if you have stock available in your area.
So dirty, poor things.
Yes. Getting them shorn is first on the list! It’s also very difficult to get a good honest look at them with all that wool. Thank you for watching.
