Herding Again!

Lowri - I had the best time today!  TM called the sheep to come down for grain.  They wouldn't come.  They knew she had more on her mind than just feeding them.  I got to go out into the big field to fetch them in.  I did a nice, wide outrun.  The sheep decided to go to TM.  That was a good choice!

Then I got to herd the sheep in the arena.  I did a great job there too.  I put them in a corner and held them there.  TM trimmed the coat off one of the ewes.  She will be much cooler without all that coat.  I made her stand still while TM worked on her.  I made the other four sheep stand there too.  Afterwards, I got to move the sheep around the field.  After they tried escaping several times, they gave that up too.

After I got to go to water and cool off, TM let me work the last set of sheep.  I LOVE making them mind.  It is so much fun.  If you put just a little too much pressure on the lambs, they try to escape.  Then you get to cover them and make them stop.  It is great!
