Corral Training

Marty shows how we train the sheep to be comfortable in the portable sheep yards. We actually welded these panels together ourselves in advance of our initial sheep arriving here. Luckily we don't need to use them very often, as most of the rare cases of sheep maintenance is done in the field, such as the occasional hoof trimming. The sheep had no problems going in and out, and the panels held up well to a wether being a bit if a jerk.

Is wether a male? Why the name?

[@Sheepmovers]

Hi Mom, "Wether" is the name given to a castrated male. We bought some wethers at the very start to keep Star (ewe) and Chillie (ram) company.
