This is Zeke, a ram we've been trying to find a home for, exhibiting his ego. Aren't his horns marvelous? That is, until yesterday... I had thought that bad ram behavior was done for the year, but I guess I'm learning that testosterone never quits. I didn't see the head butt, but I imagine it was with Sherpa, as he had a bit of blood on his horns, too. Most people think the horns are either solid or hollow, but they are keratin covering live bone, which is fed by blood. Zeke is recovering quite well; the wound is healing fine, but he'll never have that beautiful, symmetrical, bighorn sheep look again :(
