When the ewes are all pregnant.
Ram
I like to put 40-50 ewes with a ram but you can put as many as you like, just some rams can over work them selves sometimes and die occasionally.
Rams are male sheep. Ewes are female sheep.
You don't need a ram. They can get really dangerous. Plus, you don't. You deal with a reputable breeder who can, genetically, select the proper one for the quality of your ewes. If you are just raising meat lambs, anything will impregnate your ewes. If you epect to sell breeding stock you need a registered ram to get quality offspring, allowing that your ewes are quality themselves.
A baby ram is called a lamb. Because... Rams are male sheep, ewes are female sheep and lambs are baby sheep.
Entire male goats (known as bucks) can graze with pregnant female goats (does) but it is recommended that you separate them at least a month or so before kidding as the doe will give give off hormones as though she is in season and the buck will harass her when she should be settling down to kid.

AnswerEweactually the correct term would be sheep, not ram. a ram is a male sheep.
Some farmers put a raddle harness on the ram which has a crayon color segment so that when the ram mounts the ewe it leaves a colour mark on the ewes back
