Thanks. Any credit is probably due to how nice the lumber was. It was really cool working with 2x4s that were actually 2"x4". We did milk them last spring and are hoping to again. Last year I just tied their halters to our porch and it was hard on my back to say the least! Hopefully we have some nice lambs soon and will be back in milk.

Thanks. Our ewes jumped right up and knew the drill. The ram had second thoughts lol. He'll have to figure it out too for occasional hoof trimming..

Having the right equipment always makes for a better experience and job.

That said, shearing --- any suggestions other than the shears of course -- for the sheep rather than tipping them?
