Of course it is not just the crate, but the system for getting the ram,ewe or lamb into the crate without the "rodeo".<br />Lilac Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314532229197668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819048519590916875.post-41169257990007702972016-08-06T13:28:15.856-04:002016-08-06T13:28:15.856-04:00Thanks for reading and commenting!
The "ram c...Thanks for reading and commenting!<br />The "ram crate" has been re-purposed several times and I'm not sure if it's ever been written about except in passing. <br />It was originally used to haul our daughter's show lambs in the back of the pick-up. It is constructed of livestock panels inside metal frames that have been welded together and has a little access door. <br />Last winter he put a wooden bottom and skids on it so it can be dragged around. That was described in the "Sunday walkabout 2-21-2016".<br />We have tried a lot of other moving methods, from "sheep rodeo" to trailering...this seems to work the best for us.

Those should help you to understand our system.<br />I'm SO glad you find this interesting! :) I need to work on some informational posts...maybe during the "off-season"...Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599739740886087571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819048519590916875.post-74856390277165857552016-08-03T15:39:31.324-04:002016-08-03T15:39:31.324-04:00Can you send me to a post on the "Ram Marker&...Can you send me to a post on the "Ram Marker"? I don't think I understand that. :) I get that it marks the ewes somehow, but by day? and different colors for what purpose? I find it all interesting, but need to understand, lololbarbaradougherty126https://www.blogger.com/profile/08836028500126454110noreply@blogger.com
