[Jacob-list] Don't trust rams or wethers

[Linda]

I've been laughing about this all day.  I can just imagine that the ram didn't feel dominated and I was forced to run like crazy with my jeans around my ankles. 

I guess it must be the idea of water/urine/vinegar on the ram that shows dominance?   I've never seen a ram urinate on another ram, but I do use squirt guns and spray bottles if I need to.
