Agreed - I could do without the jumping. Years back, we purchased a mature
2-horned ram from a breeder several states away. He got agitated after some
of his fellow travelers on the delivery trip were dropped off in Montana.
When back on the road, he beat his way out of the back of an enclosed pickup
truck. He hit the pavement going at least 70 mph on I-90 in the middle of
the state. He reportedly slid a bit, came to a stop, then got up and started
running. There was quite a rodeo along the freeway, with all sorts of
strangers lending a hand to get him caught again. He arrived with a few
minor scrapes on one leg and horns, but otherwise healthy and ready to go.

Jumping through windows is maybe one primitive trait I wouldn't mind losing

Oh, on a lighter note.....yesterday I picked up a 2 horned wether, using one
of my husband's work vans....we need a wether to keep our ram company during
the times he is separated from the ewes.  We loaded the wether, and I was
chatting with the breeder, when suddenly we heard a tremendous crash -- Mr.
Wether apparently didn't care for the proposed mode of travel and jumped
right through the window in the rear door of the van, literally flying
through the air,  spraying glass everywhere - and he promptly ran down the
road!!!  We were able to corral him and he wasn't hurt, not even a scratch,
and despite his best protests, found himself stuffed into a large dog crate
for his trip home -- and my husband was very understanding about the broken
window!  This morning Mr. Wether is calmly grazing with Sweetgrass Cooper
and they are becoming best of friends.....don't you just love those
primitive jumpers!!!
