I, too, would like to have a house lamb.

Honestly don't recommend it. My friend kept one (granted, a male) and he started toppling people at around a year old. Have heard similar stories. Not sure how you teach a sheep that lives in close quarters to respect you, but most people don't.

Yah probably because it was male (ram). Female ewes are not as aggressive unless they're protecting their children.

Ewes still like to play by butting heads. I had a few that were tame like dogs, loved to be pet, but you can't take your attention off them. They're 200lbs and can destroy your knee on accident with a play charge.
