I guess shepherds have known for ages that in any herd, there are some rams who will not mount a female ever and keep mounting other males.

And of course,

to maintain a herd, you don't need every male to reproduce.

But in the old days, those males got sent off to slaughter, right?

Well, hearing these rumors, Chuck did these tests where he would put a bunch of females that are in stocks, so they can't move, and they're all ready for

mating, and he put a ram in with them.

He'll put this gay ram where there's a dozen females, and he might be in that paddock for 12 hours and never mount a single female.
