I was so fascinated watching this ritual. The Ram kept on following the females around, would lift up his right leg and give them a gentle kick on their hind leg! He just got a dirty look and the female would dash off! This went on until I left the scene. I do not know if one was willing. All I know is that there was never so many babies born as last year. This Ram came to us the previous year and the old one taken somewhere else, to avoid inbreeding.
