What should I pay attention to when choosing a ram?

As the saying goes, "the ewe is good, a good litter, the ram is good, a good slope", when buying rams, some farmers (especially those who have just raised sheep) will not choose rams, so what problems need to be paid attention to?

First, look at the variety

Look at the breed, you need to choose those high-quality breeds of sheep with sufficient production performance such as lactation, meat production, and reproductive performance, especially the hybrid sheep also need to look at the physical condition and living habits of their parents, so as to ensure the quality of the breeding ram, so that there will be no genetic defects.

Second, look at the body shape and appearance

In fact, when buying a breeding ram, the body shape and appearance have a great reference meaning. It is best to choose those sheep with tall physique, strong physique, full of energy and strong appetite, muscular, thick limbs, strong and powerful, wide waist and long breeding rams, so that the ram can attract ewes, its genes are good, and the offspring will be stronger.

Of course, this also needs to be taken into account the age of the breeding ram. In particular, you need to pay attention not to buy "culled sheep" home. The reproductive age of rams is 1 5 years old, and breeding rams over 5 years old will be eliminated by farmers.

Third, examine the quality of the ram's offspring

This will take some time to examine, but the offspring of a good quality ram will certainly not be too bad, and it will be worth taking some time to make your flock stronger. If you rush to buy a ram of average quality to go home, the sheep will face the problem of changing the breeding ram, isn't it time-consuming and costly?

In fact, when buying a breeding ram, some people will also consider the ram's horns. If it is in captivity, I personally think that it is better to choose a ram without horns, and the space in the captive is limited, and it is inevitable that there will be fights between the rams, which will bring relatively less damage to the sheep. If it is free-range, the horned ram is more ferocious.

When facing danger outdoors, horned rams can better protect the safety of the flock and reduce the losses of farmers.

You need to pay attention to the tail of the ram, you need to pay attention to the meat quality of the ram, you need to pay attention to the legs of the ram, you also need to pay attention to the head of the ram, and you also need to pay attention to the horns of the ram.

It is necessary to choose a ram of the right age, pay attention to the state of the ram, choose a higher quality, choose a more vigorous hair, and choose a horned one.

Pay attention to the size of the volume, but also to the choice of variety, but also to the characteristics of the body, to pay attention to the skill of selection, and also to pay attention to the advantages of it.

1) Look at the ancestors: The quality of the ancestors can be directly passed on to the descendants. Therefore, when selecting seeds, it is necessary to systematically investigate the production performance of the previous generations, such as body weight, lactation volume, hair production (meat), reproduction, etc., and body shape.

When selecting and retaining small breeding sheep, the best breeding rams should be used in a planned way to mate with excellent ewes, and attention should be paid to strengthening the feeding management of pregnant ewes, so that the fetus can fully develop, so that the lambs can be used for selection of breeding sheep after birth.

2) Look at itself: The body shape and production performance of breeding sheep are not only closely related to their own health, growth and development, but also directly affect the next generation, so they must be selected among the best.

3) The breed of sheep is different, the requirements are not the same, when the sheep are selected, they should be selected according to the characteristics of different breeds and the requirements of breeding. The selection of a breeding sheep generally needs to go through many appraisals before it can be finalized, such as newborn, weaned, one year old and after the birth of offspring.

4) Look at the offspring: The quality of the breeding sheep is ultimately determined by looking at its offspring. Excellent breeding sheep not only have high production performance and excellent quality, but also can be passed on to future generations.

If its offspring is not ideal, it cannot be used for breeding, especially for breeding rams. For ewes with poor offspring quality, breeding rams with excellent performance should be selected to mate to improve the quality of offspring.

The leader of the sheep, the leader of the sheep, basically a meaning, is to lead the eldest brother, the head of the sheep to **, the other sheep will follow the **, when I was a child, the head of the sheep raised at home, very understand the meaning of the owner, if the other sheep are disobedient, the head sheep will use a strong body, the head sheep is the leader of the flock, when I was a child, I saw that the free-range person only controlled the head sheep, and the other sheep obediently followed, very magical. The head sheep is strong and well-heard, leading the flock to forage for food, which can be naturally selected by the flock or deliberately cultivated by humans.

The head sheep have ewes and breeding rams. There is also a mixed flock of sheep, goats and sheep mixed sheep, there will be two head sheep, which category is more than a large group of head sheep, and then there is a small head of sheep in the small group range. The cause of the mass death of sheep is most likely to beThe head sheep accidentally fell off the cliff while foraging, and the sheep jumped off the cliff in order to follow in the footsteps of the head sheep.

Not only is this ram sturdy, but the nearby sheep farmers often borrow our head sheep for breeding. In other words, many of the sheep in our flock are actually closely related to this head sheep.

The role of the head sheep is mainly to lead other sheep to feed smoothly in the wild, prevent the sheep from scattering, lead other sheep to find the right way forward, make the whole sheep more team minded, and know the way home when they go out of the circle in the morning and return to the circle in the evening. The head sheep is also called the leading sheep, the cultivation of the head sheep is an indispensable work in the herding, the sheep is more hard, the sheep to the grazing land all over the mountains and fields to forage, there must be a leading sheep to lead the flock of sheep to eat. At the same time, there should be a leading sheep on the way to graze and harvest to reduce the fatigue of the shepherd.

Because it is located in the mountainous area, our local area is very suitable for the breeding of black goats, from the beginning of my memory, our family has a large group of black goats, at that time goat breeding did not have too much technical content, basically the sheep were driven to the hillside during the day, in fact, the leader of the sheep is the "leader" of this group of sheep, every time the sheep open the door of the ring, it is this sheep that rushes to the front, it will lead this group of sheep to find grass and water sources, **water,**grass more, are under its leadership to complete the day's eating task.

You should choose a ram with a relatively high cost performance, and you should look at the physical condition of the ram, and it is the firmness of the teeth, so that you can choose a good ram.

You should choose some more energetic rams, but also choose some better breeds. At the same time, when choosing a ram, we should also pay attention to the overall physical fitness of the ram. It is necessary to choose some rams with strong reproductive capacity and production capacity.

Choose some relatively young, and the body is very strong, there is no disease, the aggressiveness is very strong, it is very lively, and the variety is also very good.

It is very particular about choosing a breeding ram, from appearance to weight!

How much is the three generations of blackheads there in Lao Wang?
