In the morning, at sunrise, the sheep crowd the gate where the hay comes in. It’s slightly dangerous to have sheep crowding around like that, they get excited and can knock a person over in a flash. So Red comes in with me, and slowly and very calmly backs the sheep up to the feeder and keeps them there until I put the hay in the feeder and spread it out.

He is a good partner to have in the pasture. I will be doing hourly sheepherding demos with Red (and  Fate) during the Spring Open House, held her at the farm Saturday, June 10, and Sunday, June 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you need any further details about the Open House,  you can find them at Maria’s website. Thanks.
