So as I sit here with my toque on in my office, the outside weather is -18C and I am still on lamb watch. We are still officially in breeding season for another week and than we will be able to take out the rams and put the sheep all in one spot.
For now we have the hair sheep in the front yard, the dorsets in the training arena, the main wool flock behind the driveshed and in the open field, and lambs/imminent lambers behind the barn..Oh yeah, and the ones that have lambed are in the barn.
This of course is wonderful for my youngest border collie Spec (an accident out of my bitch Pam and my husbands' dog Preacher). She is laying by my desk looking particularly unamused at another cold day where I won't be training her on sheep. She wants to be in Alberta training with Scott Glen and her Aunt Stella (Preacher's sister). I started Spec late this summer at around 11 months of age. She has beautiful balance (like her mom) and is thoughtful like Preacher. She is really a lot of fun to train and I hope to take some pictures of her in the upcoming months so you can moniter her progress.
