We got to try out the new sheep table today for the first time. We had a few glitches and thought of some things to differently next time, but we got them all wormed, vaccinated and hoof trimmed.
The head gate held them in
Lisa trimmed hooves, gave shots and squirted worming medicine down their throats.
I assisted in the handling.
This was toward the beginning of the eleven sheep. We were still relatively clean. There was some pee, poo and blood involved later. Okay, a lot of pee, poo and blood.
The table was a success!
Daffy didn’t seem to care for it much. I had the head gate a little tight on her. She calmed down when I loosened it a notch.
Louie was watching over us but he didn’t get a turn on the table. He was interested in the bucket of grain we were shaking. Most of them followed the bucket up the ramp and stuck their heads through the gate to get at it. We just clamped them in and they were ready. There were a couple we had to drive in but we got them all.
