Where can I make sheep docile by stroking?

Touching the sheep's head or chin can make the sheep feel the caress of its owner, so it becomes docile. The physiological characteristics of sheep are obvious. Timid, sensitive to smell, etc. So avoid them being frightened.

Sheep themselves live in groups, and there are few fights between a group of sheep, but rams also fight when they compete for spouses. Because of its strong gregarious nature, attention should be paid to mixing with other sheep when grazing. In addition, due to social reasons, if a sheep suddenly goes into shock and runs away, it is likely that a large number of ignorant sheep will follow, which is also something we should pay attention to in management.

Matters needing attention in raising sheep

Both sheep and goats like a dry and clean environment. We should create a dry and ventilated rest environment for them. Damp sheepfold and environment are easy to cause parasitic diseases and hoof rot of sheep. In order to avoid these diseases, elevated sheep beds should be used when raising in humid areas in the south to avoid sheep touching the wet ground at rest. Goats are most susceptible to parasitic diseases and pneumonia in humid environment.

When herding sheep, it is necessary to selectively rotate the pasture. The drinking water of sheep must be clean and changed frequently, and they should not be allowed to drink the water left over overnight or for a long time.
