A Wall Street Journal article says the smell is so strong it masks the ram's natural pheromones, which prevents the males from duking it out.

The hack is nothing new among sheep farming veterans. It has been used for years to stop the males from literally ramming each other.

One farmer in the UK, Sam Bryce, says she tried the recommended technique after several other failed methods, and this one worked!

"There's no argy-bargy, no rowing," she said.

According to the Study, "Axe Africa" is the best scent to use.
