[@twiggsherman3641]

Has to be some KZbinr that trains herding dogs that'd love to collab. A couple herding dogs and an experienced person to control them would get this solved pretty quick.

[@brandontamplain2239]

That was my thought too. The dogs would be way more effective than mini bikes, with the added benefit of you can tell them to go find sheep.

Yeah, but it wouldn't make for a good first video! That isn't the formula!

[@lawrencetaylor5481]

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe not KZbinr's but, yeah, guys that do it for a living. Are there any sheep herders on KZbin though? Don't know? If there are, could be an interesting watch.

​@kimkelly-kline3768 Oh trust me those sheep are just fine..

[@bosspantherv262]

keep the sheep! Those sheep/goats r the best thing to prevent or reduce wild fires! All they do is eat, that reduces dry brush and grass that will burn in a wild fire. Sure repairing the fence line will be costly but not as costly as rebuilding the resort after it burns down from a wild fire.

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

Hire some sheep ranglers with herding dogs to round all those sheep up. Maybe rebuild the pen so they don't keep escaping. Love these videos. Always something exciting going on.

Get a few rolls of the orange constructions fence and some poles and make your self a chase fence. It can help block a large section while you chase them into the pen. Big have circles work well, because once they get past one section and try to turn back the next section will make it look blocked off.

Hey Matt, my dad was a vet for years and we had to chase pur fair share of sheep. We always tried to create some kind of run. I might try putting up a quick fence that runs right to the gate you want them in so you can run them down the fence line rather trying to herd 100 sheep into a 4 foot fence.

[@jackjumper4231]

16:28 if you want to round up the sheep more efficiently, you have two options. Option one start putting out sweet feed near the water source, but outside the pin this will cause them to come to it. Option to go to a ranch that has people working off horseback and trying to deal with them to round up the sheep. They can do it way quicker.

[@docferringer]

I was thinking they take those currently captive sheep, feed and water them for a couple of days, and turn 'em loose. Let them lead the whole herd to the good food and plenty of water.

[@bkrey5439]

You could also take a bunch of apples and put them in the corral overnight. Hang some of the apples out of reach so they can smell them, they will stay in the area of the corral or in the corral then you walk the rest in using the extra fence as a funnel.

[@kensmith8832]

When I was growing up, we had a butcher come out and harvest the critters in the field. They had a truck designed to handle 15 cows. It would be good to check around for local services in dealing with wild farm animals. The fastest way to get them addicted to the free food is molasses. You can burn the molasses to fill the air with the smell of sugar. This will attract other critters as well. It is hard to train them to grapes or marshmallows, but they should know the smell of apples, so pour apple juice on the roof, paint trees with it, and put it in buckets. You want the smell in the wind as much as possible.

[@tiktok11150]

Don't use grapes if you have dogs. It can kill them if they eat anything left on the ground.

You should look up what they did for the goat problem on the galapagos islands. Seems up your alley.

If time allows I would set up several feeding stations within a reasonable perimeter of the goal site. And I think there is leader......once they get used to a particular feeding area they may calm down. Just move the feeding area closer over time to your goal area. Then experienced ranch working cowboys on horses just might work to move sheep to pens. They could be loaded up and relocated. And yes herding dogs are also a good idea!!

Matt have you considered hiring someone with sheep dogs to chase them into pen?

[@toothlessaltine7705]

You could take some base up to the fence build them some ramps from the outside. Close up all the fence around the pond and feeder. Then they should just jump down into the pen to feed and drink essentially catching themselves. Good luck tho the herds probably a lot closer to 100 than you think so it could be a long battle.

I used to work on this big federal facility that was thousands of acres. Long before I got there they had to catch and remove a bunch of pronghorns so they built huge fences that were in a giant V shape to heard these things into. I think that's what you're going to have to do, set up a big funnel that they won't even realize until they're in it until they're in it and have it open into the pen. Those things just seem bound and determined to go the exact opposite way you want them to.
