[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7149609, member: 63856"] Longer term, if you're going to keep them in the 6 acre as a whole, get a "Patsy" like a bottle-fed lamb, a wether, I have tame sheep so they're redundant now, but they are great with new sheep that give trouble. Like yourself, not worth having a dog around for 3 uses a year; I just trained our 4 pet rams to do it because they do more than one job - and eat for free . They will round up any mob of sheep intuitively, bring them over to me calmly, and I just crook 'em (and give the rams a few sheepnuts or a head of lettuce as a reward) so they don't go dip their wicks while I dig a stone out of a hoof or WHY. It's like the team of dogs you have when you don't have a team of dogs [/QUOTE]
