I raised market-sheep when I was younger and during breeding the ram wears a harness with colored chalk on the underside. You then have visual cues for which ewes are likely to become pregnant.

Do you do something special for these ewes, like give them more food or something?

    We move them to another paddock, so the ram can focus his efforts on the remaining untupped ewes.
