For my small flock, of mostly Finns, I just shake the grain bucket and they come running, usually into the horse stall where they get fed. If I need to do something with them, I just shut the door behind them. With 10 of them in there it's not as hard to catch individuals, I do think I need a crook though as it would make it easier considering the stall size-12X12. If I need to move them to another pasture or want them to graze in the yard or whatever, they're really good about following me anywhere, as long as I have the "magic" bucket with me. I recently added a younger ram to the flock and it only took one time for him to figure it out.
