5 Reasons to get your ram palpations done early:

• Pick up Brucella ovis so we have time to eradicate pre-mating
  
• Get sale rams bled and tested for B.ovis well in advance of sales
  
• Remove rams with undeveloped testicles, cryptorchidism (only one testicle) or hernias allowing time for replacements to be sought.
  
• Give any vasectomised rams time to heal before mating (at least 8 weeks needed before use)
  
• Get them body condition scored (do they need to gain or lose weight?) to set them up for optimum performance
