Video: Sheep Farming: Reintegration Of The Rams

Today at Ewetopia Farms, we check on how the rams reintegrated over night. Yesterday we removed a bunch of rams from breeding groups and had to put them in a temporary squeeze so that they wouldn't harm each other after reintegration. This morning we see how and if they have settled down or not. It was a sunny, windless day for a change today so we also spent some time sitting with the rams and discussing ram behaviour and controlling aggressive behaviour. We also check out how all the ewes made out overnight too. It can be stressful on the ewes to move them when pregnant. The we check out the dorset lambs in the tarp barn and give them full access to the other pens now that the breeding ewes are gone.
