"With mature rams, it is important to make sure they do not get too familiar. I use a shepherd's cane to tap them on the shins if they crowd or get pushy. Hitting them on the head will only trigger a butting response so is to be avoided. I find using a harsh growl in my voice and thinking of them as lamb chops/prey also helps if they start to become aggressive."
