Look Ma, No Hands

115 lb. Dominique holds a 250 lb. ram upright on his tail bone with her knees. His feet in the air, he can't move, nor can he struggle much. This effortless holding position, for both sheep & shepherd, frees Dominique's hands to work on his feet, look at his teeth, examine his eyes, etc.
This 3 year-old ram limped. Dominique found an adobe-like (weed & dried mud) substance wedged in the cloven (the soft space between the two claws) of his hoof and removed it. He should walk more easily tomorrow.
