Movin' on up. . .

As fall sets in, and the grass growth slows down, we decided we needed to find a new place to graze our sheep. Since we do not yet own a livestock trailer, our options for moving the sheep were limited. We decided to graze the sheep at a pasture down the road from the rest of the farm, and called our new friend Roger Deschambeault and asked for a favour. Sunday morning, Roger arrived at the farm with two of his trained border collies. The plan was to run the sheep down Loop Road about a half mile to the new pasture. In this picture, roger sent his dog, Ken, out to gather the sheep. The tiny black dot is Ken.

Here they are out of the fenced-in area and onto the neighbor's lawn. Up ahead Todd, Kelli and Ed and running ahead, calling the girls. Off the the side is Ken, getting the sheep off the lawn, and into the road. Roger follows behind, whistling commands to Ken.

Here we are crossing the bridge.

They reached the new pen, and rushed right in!

Here we are closing them in to their new home.

After we were all done, Roger took out his young dog, Bob, to do a little work.



That'll do! Thanks Roger, Ken & Bob!!!
