How to make sheep obedient and keep them from wandering off while herding

AbstractYou need to pay attention and observe which sheep always walks in front. Usually, if you hold the lead sheep, the flock will not wander off. At the same time, you can also buy more bells and give extra care to the disobedient sheep. Once the sheep get used to the sound of the bells, they will also follow the sound of the bells to find the flock themselves, and it also makes it easier to observe the location of the sheep.

1. How to herd sheep so they are most obedient and do not wander off

You need to pay attention and observe which sheep always walks in front. Generally, if you hold the lead sheep, the flock will not wander off. At the same time, you can also buy more bells and give extra care to the disobedient sheep. Once the sheep get used to the sound of the bells, they will also follow the sound of the bells to find the flock themselves, and it also makes it easier to observe the location of the sheep.

2. How to manage the flock well

1. In our country, mainly goats and sheep are raised. Herding sheep in summer is relatively easy, because in summer the grass and trees are more vigorous and grow very fast. Sheep farmers only need to drive the sheep to a patch of grassland and then rest in a shady place. Because there is a lot of grass and trees, the flock generally will not run too far.

2. Then the excrement of the flock can also be used as fertilizer to fertilize the grassland. Every few days, the grazing place can be changed. In autumn, because the grassland begins to degrade and the grass and trees do not grow as vigorously as in summer, the flock will then look for food everywhere and search for more forage. At this time, sheep farmers need to observe more carefully to prevent the flock from going too far and becoming difficult to manage.

3. Because the flock may not eat enough when herded in autumn, when they are driven back to the pen, forage still needs to be fed continuously so the flock can grow stronger. If the number of sheep raised is relatively large, it is actually still relatively easy. At this time, there is no need to cut forage by hand; machines can be used instead.

4. When driving sheep back to the pen in winter and spring, pay attention: it is not recommended to chase them all the way. Generally, when they are almost at the sheep pen, let the sheep walk slowly. It is best to let the sheep stroll around the pen, encouraging them to enter the pen freely. This is also called airing the sheep before returning to the pen. For sheep unwilling to return to the pen, salt or cornmeal can be used to lure them into the pen. Winter grazing requires going out late and returning early, grazing against the wind and returning with the wind.

5. Because going out late and returning early falls during a relatively warm period of the day, generally grazing against the wind can prevent the sheep's wool from being blown open and helps keep them warm. However, if the sheep do not eat enough during daytime grazing, when they are driven back to the pen at night, they need to be fed night feed as supplementary feed. Sheep are ruminants and have relatively strong digestive capacity, so night grass and supplementary concentrate can be fed, and an appropriate amount of mineral feed can also be added, which helps supplement the nutritional needs of breeding rams, pregnant sheep, and fetuses.

6. Every part of the sheep is valuable. The wool and skin can be made into many kinds of woolen fabrics and leather products. In terms of medical care, sheep can play an even more unique role. Sheep blood, sheep bone, sheep liver, sheep milk, sheep gall, mutton, and so on can be used to treat many diseases, so they have very high medicinal value.
