[Jacob-list] My Ram wasn't a baby-daddy

[Linda]

Where are you located? How many ewes did he have? Was he a ram lamb?  How long was he with his ewes?

Here in the southeast, I've heard of a number of fertility problems in both rams and bucks. The drought probably had something to do with it, as well as temperatures in the 90's well into September.

If I really liked the ram, I'd try him again this fall - but follow him with a clean up ram.
