A male sheep that is a cross between a ram and another breed, or a partially castrated male sheep.
From demi- (half) + ram (Old English ramm). This agricultural term emerged in farming communities to describe hybrid or incompletely developed male sheep.
Farmers have created wonderfully specific vocabulary for every variation of livestock—a demiram was useful for breeding programs because it provided different genetic or behavioral traits than a full ram.
