We have three intact rams raised on pasture under low-stress management. Ram #1 was bottle-raised. Rams #2 and #3 were dam-raised with extended milk access and natural weaning. All three have free-choice mineral access and alfalfa supplementation alongside pasture forage. Health management is prevention-focused through nutrition, pasture rotation, and routine observation.
