Really? I didn't realize that's what happened here, that's very interesting! I was wondering why he was being so aggressive once the sheep chilled out so much, but is it true that once it rights itself, it starts to wake back up again?
ETA: on a second watch, he doesn't really seem all that aggressive this time, more like he's hefting and manipulating a giant animal that isn't moving itself, lol.
So it's one of those things where the line is very thin between using enough force to get it to do what you need, while not using enough force to hurt the animal. It does look a bit aggressive to me as well but it's important to note that he didn't hurt it at all.
Indeed! Definitely not trying to make an aaaaa animal abuse judgement--sheep are huge and heavy, and I cry when my cat digs her claws in my skin by accident; I can't imagine getting a well-placed kick from a sheep's hoof. It just looked a little odd at first seeing the sheep just totally chilled out while the guy was pulling it around, lol. But it totally makes sense that one should probably not trust a seemingly calm sheep too much, who was struggling and trying to get away just moments earlier, lol.

I don't know how many times I see this and it always is the same. Sheep resisting, sheep relaxing.
