After a month or so of getting butted, run over, kicked and ignored as the result of lambing season, Red got things under control this weekend. Sheepherding goes all to hell during lambing, the lambs don’t understand herding, the mothers defend their lambs rather than obey the dog, the lambs move slowly and the ewes won’t leave them.

I’ve worked with Red a little bit each day and he has finally taken charge again, he corralled the ewes and the lambs and got them all into the fenced-in area by the feeder. By the time the crowd arrives at the Open House next weekend, Red should have things in hand.
