[QUOTE="Henarar, post: 7193463, member: 5961"] we only have a few old hurdles at one place we pen the sheep up but our sheep will follow if they think they are off somewhere new so we let them out through the pen on to the road stop them a little way up the road one of us closes the pen up and we drive them back through the gate in to the pen. no good if you are on your own but the point is you have to think if there is anything there already that will help you, like a gateway they are used to just walking though to get to the next field, set up a few hurdles permanently in the next field so they are used to walking through them then when you want to catch them just shut the hurdles. this sort of thing wont work if you do it to often though as they get wise to it. we have no sheep dog and bits of land scattered about the place and have found ways to pen them anywhere without any great expense I don't think the grant is worth looking at as you have to spend a lot to get it, also if you buy expensive stuff and leave it away from home its likely to get nicked [/QUOTE]
