Sometimes these solutions can be slower to carry out but when there are only a few sheep, this is not necessarily a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The webinar was presented by Jennie Curtis from Roogulli Farm, who also produced a 10 minute video on small scale sheep handling and feeding. There were ideas about yard setup, weighing sheep, tipping sheep and feeding out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary of the webinar is available on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" label=\"Small Farms Network Capital Region website (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/smallfarmscapital.org\/summaries-and-links\/9036177\" target=\"_blank\">Small Farms Network Capital Region website<\/a>, and you can view the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sheep handling ideas for small flocks\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6ENnYx0D0H0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Small Farms Network Capital Region recently ran a webinar and discussion about ideas for sheep handling on small farms.
