One of the things that the students at the RVC learn is how to tip a sheep. Scott from Spring Grove taught us one of the methods - reaching around and under the sheep and pulling the back leg through - but there are lots of other ways, depending on the size of the sheep. Sometimes if it just a small sheep, though, it is easiest just to lift and tip.

RVC Open Day
I went to the RVC Open Day yesterday and had a brilliant time. The facilities there are amazing. We had a tour of the campus and learned a lot about what it was like to be a student at the RVC. I really enjoyed having a go on the lamb birthing simulator - the lamb I was trying to birth had its head back, so I had to push it back in and gently bring the head forwards. It was a lot less slimy than birthing a real lamb!
