Just incase 14 horses, two dogs, five cats and a dragon isn't enough, we've just got these two fellas. I've got no idea how to work them so any hints and tips are welcome! The handsome one is a Shetland Ram of allegedly very good pedigree and the other is his old boy companion.

If that's his ball sac hanging in the top pic I'd watch he doesn't work you wink

So how did you come by these two then? Obviously not to breed from!! Or will you put the younger ram out to stud?

Guess you have some reading up to do on them!

I'm no expert but I think that is his sack yes. He hasn't been 'snipped' or whatever it's called in ram speak.

We were in a local pub a couple of weeks ago and we met two brothers. A few beers later and I got an engineering job from one and the Rams from the other. I'm still not sure who the winner in that deal was!
No intention to breed.

No neither am I!!

Not sure how the younger entire ram will cope with the no breeding idea, he could get rather frustrated smile!

I'll let you know!
He's not interested in our ABD except to chase her around and butt her over. Unless that's their idea of foreplay.... Mmmmm
