The Deck Chair, which consists of a rectangular, galvanized-pipe frame with nylon cord webbing holds sheep firmly on their backs in a relaxed position. Loading a sheep into the chair is done by (a) leaning the chair at a 45 degree angle against a gate or fence, (b) backing up the animal until its legs bump the frame and its rump falls into the webbing, then (c) tipping its head upwards so the sheep is in a reclined sitting position. To unload, the frame is simple tilted forward until the animal falls out of the webbing onto its feet.
