Huge Ram Fight Mate-Dorset vs. Romanov

A big white, Dorset is shown contending for and mating with ewes. Boris, the Russian Romanov buck (has black shoulders), became very jealous. However he couldn't fight because he was on the other side of a fence. He was quite frustrated and tried to ram the other buck through the fence, but knew he couldn't. He symbolically rammed the big buck anyway and did get in a butt or two, but not nearly as hard as he wanted.

Note that not only do the rams want to butt heads, but they also try to trip each other, by sticking a leg out near the other's legs. Boris gets his turn later as shown in another video.

Although most are not aware of it because sheep are depicted as docile and submissive, the ram is a formidable animal -that can inspire respect because of his size and strength.

The video shows that both rams have "manes," or thick, dense, long hair around their shoulder area much as a male lion or a human with a beard. This increases their look of power. The idea for the "Battering Ram" came from the ram. They can hit with tremendous power.

Many sheep have huge horns, such as the Big Horn Mountain Sheep. Rams of this breed can hit each other with such force they can be heard for miles among the mountains.

The dorset is a breed that can have horns to match those of the big horn sheep. Some, due to a mutation, do not have horns and are called polled. The dorset shown here had 1 small horn. It is on his right side and does not show up well in the video. Boris was hornless.

Big horns, such a those some dorsets sport, are prized by collectors.

Sheep in general are highly intelligent animals that survive in a large variety of habitats, from desert areas into the arctic regions. There about 1/4 as many sheep in the world as there are people. They have tremendous acrobatic ability and are noted for their sure-footed ability to leap among craggy mountain slopes.

A video, Dogs Attack Kill Eat, Sheep make evasive maneuvers, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4kDIhTX-cM, shows some of their behavior.

Dolly the first mammal to be cloned was a Finn Dorset.
Boris also demonstrates the closeness between sheep and goats in appearance.

**The Dorset, or white-faced sheep is huge, the ewes can weight more than 200 lbs. and the rams up to 300 lbs. They are named for an area of England. When Spain tried to conquer England centuries ago, they brought the Merino sheep into Southwest England and crossbred them with the local horned sheep of Wales.

**The Russian Romanov sheep, originally came from the Volga Valley northwest of Moscow in Russia, are quite well adapted to cold. They are named after a Russian Imperial family. Horns occur in both sexes. Typical adult weight is up to around 150-180 lbs for males and around 100-150 lbs for ewes. Wool is grown only by the ovine species -- sheep. Unlike sheep of other breeds, the wool of Romanov sheep consists of only guard hair. The Romanov breed is a pure breed, not a cross of other kinds of sheep. The males have a big black mane around their neck and shoulders, which gives them an impressive appearance.
