And angry!<br /><br />I had one that was a barn/fence/other ram basher. I wanted to use him badly as he was spotted, katmoget, and carried moorit. beautiful large sweeping horns, lovely fleece (with low micron/sd/cv) and yet I never used him after two years of bashing my property to bits. <br /><br />He's mighty tasty now!<br /><br />And i'm glad i didn't continue with those genetics...as it seems to follow lines.<br /><br />Glad the electric wire stopped him! i should have tried that too! My ram even tried bashing cement walls.....Ebonwald Cardiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749634503191909772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517016800156473898.post-82947104256784618482011-01-27T21:12:31.912-08:002011-01-27T21:12:31.912-08:00I was just thinking the other day when our two fem...I was just thinking the other day when our two female llamas did the mating dance how unbearable it would be if we actually had an intact male on premise.

I think I might have had "mixed" feelings also as I want running down the hill to unplug the electricity. Maybe he's a pretty smart fellow, after all, if he's staying away from the electric fence part!Diannehttp://www.mysouthernheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517016800156473898.post-80780402149285220642011-01-27T06:54:58.905-08:002011-01-27T06:54:58.905-08:00Gosh, I'm sorry, but I was laughing too.

One good thing about it--Watson's dramatic encounter with the electric fence has surely made a lasting impression on him whereas just touching it might not have. Thanks for sharing and I hope the bugger settles down!<br />Tammy (enjoying a ram free year!!)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517016800156473898.post-29236341797602236852011-01-27T06:45:06.102-08:002011-01-27T06:45:06.102-08:00Even tho it is still winter, must get to the ewes ...Even tho it is still winter, must get to the ewes before the others do.

I would not have wanted to keep running up and down the hill. Maybe you can get a cut-out switch right by the fence and just switch it off (leaving it plugged in in the barn)when you're working on the new fence, and then you can throw the switch when you're done and it's hot!<br /><br />Sorry, I just keep giggling...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.com
