I like this idea! I hope you don't mind me adding some ideas on this.
Since its in a winter area, it makes sense that the corral would be available in a winter area. But I also want to suggest a mechanic that would make it transferrable to the ranch but also make it difficult to maintain.
Since it's a winter slime, it needs to always stay in a cool temperature place so maybe it can emit a freezing effect wherever it goes anywhere outside the mountain so that it stops itself from overheating. Or simply that a special corral feature could be added but it could still have a freezing effect like how the crystal slimes emit crystals on the ground, and being in a hot area for too long without food or the cooling aid could either make it feral or hungry twice as fast.
Maybe the freezing effect could make it difficult to have around nearby crops and/or slimes and the player. Maybe the ice on the ground makes you unable to turn properly, and that the ice could destroy nearby crops and make nearby slimes cold so that they can't produce plorts. This makes it less effective to grow crops nearby the Winter slime corral.
