I would think it would be helpful, although not absolutely necessary.
It really all depends on the other animals in the herd and what you
think it best.  It's a judgment call, Rob.
Be careful when petting those bucks...I never pet mine on the
head...bucks, like rams, can change dispositions in a flash of hormones
and you don't want a buck coming at you head first for a "scratch". :)
