The Ram in many Celtic and Druidic cultures was recognised as an alpha male symbol. Every village was aware of the best kept Ram in the village and the owner of such a Ram was held in high esteem. The owner of said Ram had a great responsibility knowing when it was at its prime and ensuring it sired lots of quality offspring, the responsibility of knowing once it was past its prime. The coming of Lughnasadh (sometimes mistaken for Lammas) and moving towards Autumn was a time of assessing all livestock, the ritualistic sacrifice of livestock to prevent the drain on resources was lead by the owner of the Ram. A time of sharing good fortune and encouraging the community to come together, the sacrifice of such quality animals was deemed to be an act of great generosity by the keepers and owners.

Traditionally a Ram is bred to sire quality generations going forward, once its purpose is served it quickly becomes a hindrance to owner and stock. Its sacrifice while young will provide tender wholesome meat for the community meaning its life is short lived but appreciated by all life force streams it encounters. Its quality of life is guaranteed and the lives and energies it encounters are blessed by its presence.
