Hi Mike,
I can't help with the chute question but I suggest for accidental
breeding, use Lutalyse, which causes the ewe to expel the fertilized
egg. Use 3cc of Lutalyse at least 11 days after breeding. Less than 8
days doesn't work.
I had a similar breakout when I first started in sheep and this was a
very good option. I didn't waste a year of the ewes' lives creating
lambs that I could not register because I didn't know their sire.

what sort of chute can one
use for rams with large horn racks? I imagine if you measured Marley,
the largest rack-ed ram, he's have 35-40 inches or so.
