Best time of day to move a sheep?

carolinagirl · Jan 23, 2012

I have not tried to move the katahdins at night, but I can't move the Barbados Blackbelly sheep in the dark....they freak out too bad and scatter. I guess because they are so flighty they need to see what's happening.

Yes moving any of those hardy but flighty breeds would be quite a task in the dark... think I will stick to daylight hours, and let the dogs do the work... and during the day, I can see the dogs.... bit difficult to see the dogs when we are moving cattle at night because they mostly black.... have thought about sticking a flashlight on their collar though LOL :lol:
