Sheep Behavior
VERY herd conscious – usually driven in bunches
“Safety in numbers”
Wide visual field - ~ 270°
Highly sensitive to excessive noise
![Page 9: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sheep Behavior: Fight or Flight
Different responses to handling based on breed
White-faced wool breeds have greater flocking instinct
Fight or Flight zone depends on where sheep is raised:
Barn raised – shorter flight zone
Rarely saw people – bigger flight zone
![Page 10: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sheep Behavior
Very athletic!
– Will climb over each other when driven into enclosures
– BEWARE: Lambs can sustain traumatic injuries -use care when driving them!
When angry, will stamp front feet or head butt (especially rams!)
![Page 11: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Capture and Restraint of Sheep
“Work” flock into small pen or enclosures
Approach individual slowly
Capture animal by putting one arm around its neck and front quarters then quickly wrapping other hand around rear quarters and grabbing its tail stump (dock)
Guide animal into desired area for treatment
![Page 12: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Capture and Restraint of Sheep
Can use Shepherd’s Crook
– Use to hook a back leg in the hock area
– Work quickly so animal doesn’t fight crook and break its leg
![Page 13: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Restraint of Sheep
RUMPING
– Very easy method of immobilizing animal for routine husbandry
– Hoof trimming
– Shearing wool
– SQ vaccinations
![Page 14: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Animal rests on
its hind quarters
to enable
technicians to
clean and trim
its hooves
and conduct a
physical exam.
Note: the
animal’s back is
supported
against the legs
of its restrainer
![Page 15: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Obtain pulse rate from
Femoral Artery
Normal pulse
rate in sheep is
70-90 BPM
![Page 16: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Important!
NEVER NEVER grab a sheep or a mohair goat by the wool!
Causes subcutaneous bruising, ruins the wool for market
And it hurts!

Goat Behavior
Highly social animals!
Flock together in extended family groups
Males and females will establish social dominance via fighting
Use horns for fighting, so group the herd according to whether they’re horned or de-horned
![Page 24: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Goat Behavior
Unlike sheep, they will not stay together when herded, instead will scatter
Best to ID the lead goat (usually a doe) and guide her into pen and the others will follow
![Page 25: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Goat Behavior
Generally docile and handled easily
Goats DON’T tolerate rough treatment
If you’re rough, they get agitated and will try to butt
use the
minimum
amount
of restraint
necessary!
![Page 26: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Goat Behavior
Warning Signs!
Hair raised along spine
Stamping foot
Sneezing/Snorting
Rearing up on hind legs
![Page 27: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Goat Capture and Restraint
To capture: grab one of its front legs and lift animal;Can use shepherd’s crook
Push animal against a wall/fence with your legs and hips to restrain it
Place knee firmly in animal’s flank
![Page 28: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Goat Restraint
Do not rump a goat to do any procedure!
Back animal’s hindquarters into a corner, and straddle animal at the shoulders while holding its head (good for TPR, and venipuncture)
Normal pulse
rate in goats is
70-90 BPM
![Page 29: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Goat Restraint Methods
Flanking
– Leaves the animal laterally recumbent
![Page 30: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Goats: Restraining the Head
Necessary for eye exams, oral meds and jugular blood collection
Two methods:– Place hands on cheeks, wrap fingers around
jawbone and hold firmly
– Grasp beard with one hand and encircle neck with the other to stabilize head*
* Beware mating season!!
![Page 31: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Restraining for Venipuncture
Cephalic Venipuncture– Straddle goat’s shoulders, place one hand around
neck to stabilize head. Use other hand to hold out leg, “roll” vein and stabilize elbow.
Jugular Venipuncture– Back goat into corner and push it sideways into
wall. Use one hand to hold head to the side and one hand to hold off the vein
![Page 32: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

QUESTION OF THE DAY…
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled ?

Swine Behavior
Intelligent, stubborn, vocal and at times vicious
Easily frightened due to poor eyesight
Can be incredibly dangerous to restrain
When stressed or treated roughly, can become hyperthermic easily!
![Page 37: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Swine Behavior
When aggressive, pigs will use sharp teeth
Unlike sheep and goats, pigs can’t be herded;
Will come to the rescue of a distressed herd mate! Beware!
ALWAYS have an escape
route when working with pigs!
![Page 38: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tools for Capture and Restraint
Pig Boards– Flat, solid piece of wood, plastic,
metal large enough to cover handler’s legs
– Use as barrier to move pig in direction you want
– Make sure board is touching ground, otherwise pig will try to go under it
![Page 39: Session 2 Restraint Principles Sheep](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052301/5595114a1a28abfb0f8b4759/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Tools for Capture and Restraint
Paddles
– Flat board on a long stick
– Gently tap pig on shoulder, rump or side of face to direct it in direction you want
– Do NOT slap the pig with the paddle. It will become enraged and you will NOT win!
