[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5701644, member: 63856"] I can usually get my rams to go the right way and just bring them to me - I can usually catch a lamb on foot as they really don't avoid me much. Can get within distance with a crook as I am fairly quick on my feet - I have run somewhere every day for the last 35 years! :LOL: If all else fails, the farmbike comes out, post & wire fences are good for catching a lamb especially if the posts are on your side of the wire (or netting) But mainly I use my pet rams, they go left, go right, go around, and go steady on my command. One is a bit of a jock but he is probably the best ram The most obedient and eager to work has a daggy bum so I don't use him as a ram. But I don't, as a rule, have much to do with my sheep other than feed them. Last lamb I had to catch was to get a short piece of barb wire out of his fleece. Last ewe I had to catch was about 13 months ago to pull a lamb with both legs back, and she went in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
