I love to watch him work but this is different than what he is used to. That piece of pasture is 800' long but that section of fence is only 100. Lance does pretty good at an outrun but when the sheep have no boundaries he has to move super slow (slow enough that they can keep on grazing) while he drives them. When they get to the opening going back to our place I let him go.

I hope I'm not starting with a cold bug bit I have a low grade fever. I'm sitting here on the couch with a blanket over my legs, a stocking cap on and my heavy thermal jacket and I'm still cold.

Sorry the trip didn't work out as planned. Just makes you long for the farm all the more I guess.

If I had the time, I’d put them through their paces. Just don’t have any to spare.
Now THERE is an understatement!

A boat ride across open water at 25* is usually not something people think about. If you think it's cold, get in that boat and you'll learn a thing or two about COLD!
And then add in the 60 MPH "apparent wind". That has to be some wind chill!

We or rather Teresa, are working on fecal samples this afternoon. She just finished Ringo's and he is showing zero parasite eggs.
I'm sure Bay is happy he won't be bringing any "little friends" to their place.
Yep, sounds like you are doing really well on the parasite front. Probably a lot better than others in your area.

Smart and well trained!
