Premier Ram Shields for Sheep

Ram shields are used to block the ram’s forward vision—which prevents rams from charging humans or other rams. Side vision is not affected so the rams can still eat, graze, breed and drink. We use shields only as needed and remove them when the fight “urge” is over.

Which size shield does your ram need?

See below to determine the size needed. It refers to adult, full-grown rams. The heads of ram lambs are smaller than adults—so a size smaller than shown might work better for them.

Small—Cheviot, Finn, IceLandic, Katadin, Navajo Churro, Romanov and Shetland.

Large—Border Leicester, Columbia, Corriedale, Dorper, Dorset, Hampshire, Lincoln Longwool, Montadale, Polypay, Rambouillet, Romney, Southdown, Suffolk, Targhee, Texel and Tunis.

How to Use

Horned Ram Shield:

  1. Lay ram shield against the ram's face.
  2. Thread top straps through loops on each side of shield.
  3. Fasten buckles around chin and around throat and pull straps very snug.

Polled Ram Shield:

  1. Thread top strap through loop on each side of shield, to form a space for the ram's ear to fit through.
  2. Place shield against the ram's face and insert ears into spaces between straps.
  3. Fasten buckles around chin and around throat, and pull straps very snug.

Adjusting or modifying the shield:

Getting a good fit is not always easy, because every ram's head is different. A shield can be adjusted and modified (see photos and instructions above) within limits. The depth that you cut will depend on how wide your particular ram's head is. (Remember: You want to block the forward vision, not the side vision. Start with small cuts, and then increase if the eyes are still blocked from the side.)

Remember: Start small with your cuts, and then increase if the eyes are still blocked from the side. You want to block the forward vision, not the side vision.

Precautions:

Warning: Never trust a ram. Intact adult male animals simply are not predictable. So never turn your back on even the most friendly ram. Teach your children to be very cautious around them. The risk of serious human injury from rams is not small. The editor of a leading farm magazine turned his back on a ram he'd owned without incident for years. Suddenly the ram hit him from behind and knocked him off his feet. He broke both wrists when he reached out to catch himself.
