Why Girl Sheep Don’t Butt Heads Like Rams

Have you ever seen a sheep in a field? There are two different kinds of sheep: girls (called ewes) and boys (called rams). Let's learn about how they act!

1. What Are Rams?

Rams are the boy sheep. They are often bigger and stronger than girl sheep. Sometimes, when they want to show they are tough, they butt heads with each other. This can be a fun game for them!

2. What About Girl Sheep?

Now, girl sheep are called ewes. They are usually smaller and do not have horns. Because of this, they don’t butt heads like the boys do. Instead, they like to play in other ways, like running around or grazing together.

3. Why Don’t They Butt Heads?

Butting heads can be a way for rams to show who is stronger. Since the ewes don’t have horns and are smaller, they don’t play this game. Instead, they use their kindness to make friends with each other.

Conclusion

So, when you see sheep, you can remember that the girl sheep are gentle and play differently than the boy sheep. Both boys and girls are special in their own way!
