Yesterday, I happened upon one of the coolest things I have seen in a while: working dogs working. Though I know most farmers have dogs trained to herd livestock, I had never actually seen them do it.
It was impressive.
The dogs (just two of them) went out in the field and gathered the sheep into a circle. Then, they kept them there until the farmer backed his truck into position and lowered the gate (if you look closely at the picture, you can see one of the dogs circling the sheep). Finally, they herded the sheep into the truck. It took a matter of minutes.
These dogs take their jobs very seriously and they are very good at it. Amazing.
