I love everyone's advice on this matter--all suggestions are valid but you do have a breed most people aren't used to and primitive breeds might be a little different. So I've had Soay sheep for years, and if your sheep really are pure Ouessant then they are very rare on this continent. However, even when we brought the first Soay in from Canada long ago we never tolerated a ramming ram! Once the girls were bred the farm kill butcher was called in for dispatch of the occasional offender and he got eaten. You cannot afford to risk life and limb over this little bully. Your new lambs and your current ewes are also in jeopardy, so if the girls are bred, and I'm assuming they are this time of year, I would dispatch this guy ASAP! You should be able to feed a minimal amount of sheep pellets or grain without worrying about creating a monster.
