    Because they were counting sheep. A common method for trying to go to sleep

    If you're thinking he's separating based on the blue mark, then yeah, he missed one. But said one did have a longer coat that did look like it needed to be shortened, whereas all the ones that he sent through the side gate had shorter coats

    What is he sorting them by? I mean other than the paint marking.

    It shows the ewe was mated. The ram is wearing a vest with crayon or some kind of pigment that gets transferred when he mounts her.

    Perhaps to be sheared? My other guess may be age since the smaller ones seem to go right.

    I heard somewhere that they will give a male sheep a marker so they can tell which ewes have been mounted. Then in a few days they can tell which are fertile sheep and which are lamb chops. But I could totally be wrong.

    This is one of the least intelligent ways to do this.

    It’s the execution, not the method. The corridor is supposed to be narrow enough they go single file, and then you flip the door back and forth to sort.

    He has to keep grabbing and shoving because it’s not set up right.

    Yeah, seems like the corridor should be a bit tighter and the door should be further back along it, to force them into single file.

    Just make the corridor narrow for single file only?

    not all sheep are the same size, some sheep were twice as big as others.

    Not really that efficient or fast, and borderline mean with the slamming and pulling

    Others mentioned the issue is that he didn't narrow the corridor before that gate.

    If it had been narrowed earlier than that sheep would be running a single file and you can easily sort them without needing the extra stopping or grabbing.

    Hopefully they are shunting the smaller ones into a right chute well before the larger chute, and placing several such ones in line to reduce overall probability of smaller reaching the last large gate and this is just final misses and not the only one.

    They all had tails

    Haven’t seen a sheep with a tail before

    Educated guess : The ones marked are the females ,since they are smaller in size . Am I right ?
