MISHNAH: He who wants his field to be fertilized makes a corral enclosing two bet seah. He may remove the walls in three directions and leave the middle one; then he may fertilize four bet seah; Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says eight bet seah. If his entire field was only four bet seah, he leaves out part of it because of the bad impression. He may take [manure] out from the corral and put it on his field the way professionals do it.

HALAKHAH: There, we have stated: “A field cleared of thistles may be sown after the Sabbatical year. If it was improved or manured, it may not be sown after the Sabbatical year.” Rebbi Jonah said, so is the Mishnah: He who wants to put his flock on his field makes a corral enclosing two ḅet seah.

With everything one makes [walls of] corrals, with bast mats, straw, or stones, or even three ropes one above the other.

On condition that between one corral and the next there be less than a full corral. In that place he milks, shears, and through it leads his flock in and out.

It was stated: “Rebbi Simeon ben Eleazar says, if he wishes he sticks a peg into the ground and makes four corrals in the four cardinal directions for a total of eight bet seah.”

“ One does not fertilize on the Sabbath, on holidays, or on the intermediate days of holidays, even if only for goodwill. One is not permitted to put a watchman there, nor to have the flock relieve themselves, and if they came by themselves one may not help them. But if they were working with him over the Sabbaths and holidays, he is permitted to put a watchman there, to have the flock relieve themselves, and if they came by themselves he may help them.” It was stated: “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, on the Sabbath [workers] fertilize for goodwill, on the holidays for meals, and on the intermediate days of holidays even for wages.”

It was stated: “He who rents a flock may not help them to relieve themselves.” What means to help them to relieve themselves? He moves the animals from place to place. That is, if he rented them for a short time. But if he rented it for a longer period it is permitted; only the last day is forbidden.

Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Rab Naḥman bar Jacob: He who goes to do his needs and cannot relieve himself should walk around and he will be able to relieve himself. Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Mar Uqba: Ḥafrita root is good for the intestines.

Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba asked: Before the agricultural workers stopped, may one be permitted to take from the corral and put on his field in the way people treat dung?
