Thrilling moment
I was sorting lambs from ewes this morning with Dare and I had put all the ewes in a pen but a lamb had snuck in there too. I had to take them out of that pen into the next and sort out the lamb. I was in the pen I wanted them in and about to send Dare on a away to me to get them. One Ewe walked up to him at the gate and was going to go thru in spite of the fact that he was standing there. In the past , he would have grabbed them too late and they would get by him. This time he timed it perfectly, she stepped forward and he nailed her and let go and stood there. For me it was justs perfect and I was thrilled with it. He also nailed her close to the head which he never bites so we are making progress.

Cool. It does give you a thrill, doesn't it, to see them take charge that way.
