I am at a loss as to how to translate this term. The explanation in Spanish is:
instalación donde llegan animales de varias explotaciones de vida con el fin de hacer lotes homogéneos para su comercialización
Not sure if I should translate it as an Ovine Animal Standardisation Centre. Does that sound OK?
Thanks for your feedback.

sheep or lamb sorting centre
They're presumably being sorted by quality, as they will be used for everything from rack of lamb to dog food.
Example sentence:
The Diamond W Corral Sorting System will become a rancher's favorite piece of equipment when it comes to sorting cattle.
It’s sheep sorting time! We finally have all the animals settled in their winter quarters.

No, it's classifying the sheep from the goats :-)
