Hi 
I have a 4H yearling Jacob ram and a 3 yr old 2H Jacob ram. Neither has come 
"at me". On their arrival to my place the large spray bottle is my constant 
companion (and still is after 2 years) in the paddocks. I use a solution of 
1:1 vinegar and water. ANY time their heads go "down" they are sprayed. Of 
course they look to see where the bottle is when I walk into their paddock. 
The yearling ram turns around and walks away when he see's the bottle. The 3 
yr old just goes about his own business. I have not been challenged by 
either. I now have the rams separated from the ewes except for breeding 
season. I have found this to be worth the extra bucks for safety.
If I'm in the paddock any longer than feeding, I have the hose with the 
sprayer on.
Stephanie
