[Jacob-list] 'Useful' ram stories.

[WenlochFrm at aol.com]

Enjoyed your ram story, and have one of my own. This past winter we had a lot 
of snow and then it rained leaving a heavy crust of ice on top. I decided to 
scatter the flock's grain ration over a large area of the crusted snow to 
keep everyone from fighting over it, and give them something to do digging 
for it. I have a two-year-old 4H ram whose top horns are close together and 
go straight up with only a slight curve. Later in the afternoon I looked out 
the window and saw him with snow packed in between his top horns almost to 
the top. He sort of looked like the Abominable Snowman, and I couldn't 
imagine why or how he managed to do it. I had my answer when I went out to do 
evening chores, and there he was, still shoveling snow with his top horns to 
get at the last kernels that had fallen through the snow. He had cleared the 
whole area of snow right down to the ground. It looked like a parking lot 
that had been snow ploughed with the all the snow banked around the perimeter 
as neatly as any driver could have done it.
