I came across a seemingly good piece of information but I CANNOT UNDERSTAND it: Mona in VA. once upon a time said: "When I need to tie a sheep to the fence, I just take a soft cotton rope and make my own halter. I make a loop in the end big enough to fit around your sheep's nose to about two inches below the eyes, then I take the tail of the rope and bring it around the back of the sheep's head and then through the loop around the sheep's nose -- instant halter. This works because there is nothing around the neck to choke the sheep."
I cannot figure this out because unless the sheep has horns there is nothing "around the back of the sheep's head." I know there are simple tricks to making a quick, rope halter, so if someone can describe one to me, thanks.
