Red would have made a great Pony Express dog, he pays the weather no mind. One of the most dangerous things we do on the farm is grain the animals, grain excites them in a particular way, they will fight with one another and bowl over a human for some. Red is invaluable when it comes to graining, I just tell him to keep the sheep “there,” and he does. He keeps order and makes it safe for Maria and I, especially in -15 temperatures.
