For foot bathing the flock I'm using a portable 10ft race with corrugated sides.
Mostly goes well but theres a few spring lambs or old ewe that once in, will try back up and hold the job up.
This is normally solved by me kneeling and shoving from behind. Its effective but I'm not always fond of using the formaldehyde dip as mouth wash.
To help I'd thought of taking corrugated sides off the race. Maybe corrugating the hurdles on the run up to the race and creating a smooth bend with them.
Any tips with this?
Will try to upload a pic of set up if I can find one
