Red, First Encounter

When a border collie herds sheep in a pasture, they will always come to the same pasture looking for sheep. While I was cleaning up around the farmhouse at Bedlam Farm today, Red went to the pasture gate where he first saw sheep at the farm.  I knew exactly where to look for him when I was ready to leave. The sheep have not been there for months, he never stops looking for them. This is how a border collie’s world is defined – by their work.
