Basic Sheep Handling for the Veterinary Technician

This video starts with the basics of explaining how to properly place a halter on a small ruminant. Also, get the up front reminder to place the flock in a smaller enclosure before trying to catch the animal you are wanting to work with. Once the sheep is caught, we move into the best ways to restrain the sheep for the tasks we are trying to accomplish: standing restraint and rumping. Learn how to rump a sheep by yourself or, if it is a larger breed, how to best accomplish rumping with 2 people. Great nuggets on how to trim feet for sheep and goats and where we would place a subcutaneous injection on a sheep. If you are struggling with blood draws, be sure to hang out for the duration, we wrap up this video with a jugular blood draw!
