Wing and A Prayer Farm's portion of ticket sales will go toward the farm’s purchase of a ‘handling system’ to better be able to move and handle the flock when it is time for hoof trimming, shearing, vaccinations and other care. The ‘handling system’ consists of portable panels and gates that interlock and create chutes and stations so that the sheep are gently corralled for caregiving.
