hello Sir
Rams have personalities just like people or other animals

Sheep are very selective in their grazing habits.

Sheep do not need expensive buildings to house them and on the other hand require less labour than other kinds of livestock.

The foundation stock are relatively cheap and the flock can be multiplied rapidly.

Sheep are economical converter of grass into meat and wool.

Crop residues and agroindustrial byproducts can play an important role in the feeding of sheep and goats in all management systems

Cereal straw is an important roughage resource and it's nutritive value can be improved with nitrogen supplementation

The use of poultry litter in the diets of ruminants is possible provided it contains no pathogens, drugs or other medicants .

Fresh water is a must. A typical sheep will consumer a couple of gallons of water each day.

the following four management systems can be identified:
Extensive (migratory, free range, pasture or range grazing).
Semi-intensive (pasture or range grazing, use of supplementary feeding mainly on crop residues and conserved roughage).
Intensive (grazing on improved pastures, zero grazing, conserved forage, crop residues and increased use of concentrates).
Tethering (small size flocks of 2–10 animals).
This is a subsistence family system and the animals live on kitchen remnants crop residues, grazing near inhabited areas and other supplementary feed.
