Working Dog Morning

Red’s arrival on the farm has changed our mornings. We are able to move the sheep more efficiently, give them medicine, get to know them, get them used to herding, moving them in and out of the fields, the barns. This is important. For rotational grazing, their exercise. For monitoring the old sheep and treating the wool sheep. It’s tricky. There are donkeys and chickens to navigate, barn cats and challenging and unpredictable sheep. Herding is not like TV, it is a brawl usually. Red makes it a lot easier, and he makes our lives a lot easier. Come and see.
