Hmmm, I haven't tried tying a halter up ever since a bad experience once with one of the Manxes who went totally nuts and nearly strangled herself. Maybe I should give it another go now we have Zwartbles.
I was thinking about a turnover crate for holding them steady, but the more I think about it, I don't actually need the turnover bit, since if they're restrained, I could check feet as you would do a horse. I wonder if this could also be combined with a small footbath?
The options seem to be the Modulamb one (£650+VAT), which puts the sheep at a comfortable working height, as Rosemary says:
Or the IAE version, which can either be ground level (£650+VAT), or on a stand (£1400+VAT
)
Any thoughts or experience folks?
