[QUOTE="JohnGalway, post: 7148693, member: 204"] Or spend very little on one 50m roll of sheep wire and a few posts. The secret to sheep funnel making is to make fools out of them. You can achieve this by not permanently attaching the pen end of the funnel wire to the pen. Instead roll up the end bit of wire to leave an open gap. The day you need to catch the barstewards... sheep... you can unroll the end of the wire and attach it to the pen (baler twine....... or something more respectable). The sheep then are used to the funnel so they never fear going into it, but think you're an idiot as there's a gap at the end they can run out through without going into the pen. Except you close the gap the day you want to catch them and laugh at them at your leisure. For full on d**kh**d sheep you may purchase second hand some type of netting on posts. I have 50m of poultry electric netting which I use as a "guide" towards a pen or funnel. But, don't pressure them against that type of fence, if they knock it once at all they'll go through it every time. Another option might be some windbreak mesh cable tied to some type of post or other of your choice. [/QUOTE]
