I had a visiting ram for breeding once that would get a little bumpy when my back was turned, especially at feeding time. I'd let him run towards me, side step him, but grab his haunches right over the loins with clawed hands and kind of goose him forward like that. Sheep HATE that hold...don't know if it reminds them of predators or maybe the dominant ram riding them, but a few times of that and he settled right down. They also hate an ear hold, so that may be an option, to snag an ear as they pass by and just give it a sharp yank like a predator would.
Don't know if a nice shock collar with remote control feature would help? Just need to shave a place on his neck so the prongs make good contact, but wonder if that would be a good deterrent.
