Cattle handling with Satus Brute

What do you think to this video? I know the dog won't cause much harm to the cattle but how close is this dog to getting kicked? Rather him than me!

I think Randall has forgotten more about stockdogs cattle and horses than I will ever know. Brute is a hell of a dog, and I’d like a straw off him. I’d also like to do an internship with Randall, but both are equally unlikely.

There’s some awesome videos of US guys dog breaking rank cattle on YouTube.

My in laws used to have a standard poodle that could open or shut any door in the house, even hose he had to pull towards him.
I had a Kelpie once that had been sold for a pet but been returned when he learned how to let himself out of the house. Would have been the cheapest dog of all time if the bugger had listened to me! He just thought (probably correctly most of the time) that he knew better than me.

When you're putting 600 ewes and their lambs through a 12 foot gate into pens, and he decides he's bringing them back out when there's about 50 left patience wears thin very quickly.

Dogs that empty pens of their own accord make me very frustrated.
