SHEEP MANAGEMENT: BE THE LEADER. Positive Reinforcement. Starting A Farm From Scratch

Описание: Spending time with your animals seems like a no brainer. But if you want to start a PROFITABLE farm from scratch, You're going to have to invest in being the LEADER of the flock. We do this by calling them almost every day to move or to get some apples (we collaborate with Canton Apples, a regenerative orchard in Canton NY) The Maremma Livestock Guardian Dogs can be extremely headstrong but with persistance and a training leash, they will willingly sit and stay when necessary. As well as learn to walk nicely on a leash and come (eventually) when you call them. always, Always, Always making coming to you a positive wonderful experience. Food doesn't always work. But rubs and basic attention seem to work well.

the benefits of training the sheep to come to a bucket are being able to move them. and load them on a trailer. or call them in to a corral to work with them.

thank you for your support!
