LO TRIADOR
“...antes tenives que anar una per una, primer es triave una marca, i s’anaven tancant a les pletes de cada propietari. Ara amb lo triador fem més via, van passant totes per la mànega i només amb un matí ja ho tenim apariat!...”

It's defined as, among other things, 'xarxa', and 'amplària d'una nau', but I can't quite picture what's going on here:-)

This was when sheep were sorted after coming down from the mountain.

hose


Explanation:
another use of the word is to describe a hose... and also a shower (cloudburst type), so perhaps by extension it refers to some kind of sheep dip here?
