羊的饲养管理指南;羊的行为习性及其应用;? Successful sheep handling depends on understanding and taking advantage of the natural behaviour of sheep. ? Sheep have excellent vision and rely on this much more than their hearing, preferring to stay within visual contact of each other. ? Sheep are highly social flock animals and readily form tight groups and follow a leader. They develop relationships and sub-groups within a flock.

Sheep have excellent distance vision, but relatively weak eye muscles that make it difficult for them to focus quickly on close objects. Sheep have a blind spot directly below their muzzle and will slow or stop
