left knee just caudal to the sheep's left shoulder. Place right hand on the sheep's back over the
hip area. Turn the sheep's nose away from you towards its shoulder. Apply pressure to the hips
with right hand. Step back with your right leg. Continue to bring the head around until the
sheep is sitting down with its back leaning against the technician's legs.
