sheep restraining

loved it! finally something to do with animals hands on!

went to camden on fri. 2 hrs train plus car. i jumped into the enclosure immediately after the demonstration of how to restrain a sheep, and enthusiastically ran towards the sheep flock. they ran everywhere! i caught one and guided it against the fence, held up it's neck so it cant move forward, twisted his head facing backwards, force it to 'sit' sidewards on its bum, and put one of its front leg behind one of urs. so basically, the sheep is relaxed yet not moving, so u can dance with it! procedure sounds hurtful to the sheep but its actually not painful at all. it's head is in between ur legs and u check its teeth, hooves, genitals. fun! learnt loads. and i actually volunteered to do drafting! i mean, i seldom volunteer cos shy. but i really wanted to try as much as possible. my ~passion~ for animals! so i separated the merinos from the 1st crosses as they ran thru the fences. so fast they ran! and i 'kiapped' a few of them as i tried to split them from each other but they had the heads on others' bums. haha!

sorry for the boring procedures. but i'd love to do it again. simply love animals.

it was tiring, chasing and forcing the sheep to sit. it stepped on my boots and it dented in. lol. need overalls but so ex cos next next week the cattle milking they say shit splashes everywhere and they shit all the time. but so ex. if only i in sg, then use emart online to order technician suit and steel capped boots. can utilise it and save $.

i was catching my breath and looked at the 'sianed diao' sheep in between my legs i restrained. and i felt sorry for it and i apologised and promised to be gentle. it couldn't really move though comfortably sitting down, and was also catching its breath. haha seems like the process was tiring for both of us! it looked at me with its huge eyes as i pulled down its lips to check teeth, and it looked so innocent and cute! i love the soft wool beneath all the dirt. and i told it, "i'm gonna have lamb chops." haha! so evil right!

we also got to hug baby lambs. aiyoh. really wanna work in the zoo leh.
