Breeding Ram Highlights

  • Proven Breeding Performance: Rams are selected for their genetic potential to sire healthy offspring. A good ram contributes significantly to flock productivity and lamb quality.
  • Mature Size and Weight: Mature rams typically weigh between 200-350 pounds, depending on breed. Their size is an indicator of their physical condition and ability to cover ewes.
  • Nutritional Requirements: Breeding rams require a balanced diet rich in protein and energy, especially during the mating season. Adequate nutrition supports sperm production and overall health.
  • Seasonal Mating Cycles: Sheep are often seasonal breeders, with rams becoming more active and fertile during specific times of the year. This influences the timing of lambing.
  • Temperament and Handling: While generally manageable, rams can be assertive, especially during breeding season. Proper handling and secure fencing are important for safety.
  • Health and Fertility Checks: A healthy ram is crucial for successful breeding. Buyers should consider rams that have been checked for soundness, including testicle development and libido.
