I’m working on my get-to-know-the-sheep better. I’m a border collie person, I am always with a  border collie, and the minute the sheep see me, they start to gather and move. I’m not a huge fan of sheep, I like their gentleness and pastoral grazing, but I have never really bonded too closely with any.

I think I think like a border collie now, and a border collie cares for the sheep, but does not, I think love them, if you know what I mean.

So I make Red lie down away from the Pole Barn and I went into the barn with some watermelon rinds, which sheep love to chew on. Giselle is not afraid of me or the border collies, she is a proud Romney, and it took Red nearly a year to get her in line.

The other sheep tend to shy away from me, Giselle tends to come up and sniff my camera. It was good that I had a wide angle lens.

I am making headway in my sheep campaign, they are getting more curious about me and less wary.
