<< It's hard to describe, but works great!! The best way I've found to catch one is to get so many into a small area that they CAN'T JUMP so you can just walk in and grab the one you want. They need to be comfortable going into the area you build - or you need to build some kind of 'funnel' with your fence to herd them into it. We feed ours in the holding pen, so they are used to going in there every day - their water is also in there. >> I'm learning from everybody's posts what will be best for our situation as far as holding pens. Fortunately, I haven't had to catch them thus far. I'm planning on doing a worm check in the upcoming days. Which reminds me, when do most of y'all check for worms? Depending on the results, I may need to do a de-worming. I'm planning on starting them on the herbal de-worm program soon after the stool check. Catching them shouldn't be a problem once we have an area of confinement. They are all around me when I walk in. They come running from the pastures just to see what I'm doing and whether I might have "the bucket" with me. ;-) Steve, that was might kind offering to help out Barb. I hope you are near enough. Had a good laugh imagining a football team running down the blackbellies. <BWG> Diana In NC =============================================== This message is from the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
