Red has his first real farm chore this morning. One of Maria’s ewes was limping, and she wanted to get her in the barn. Red held her in a corner of the Pole Barn so Maria could get to her, and then walked her and her lambs down the hill and into the barn. He was great, he figured out what we were doing, was appropriate. He walked the ewe down into the barn, then got her ewes out and pushed them back up the hill. Good work, Red Dog.
