Last evening Will and I had a wonderful experience. Will's nurse, Pip, invited us for dinner. She lives on a 1,200 acre sheep/cattle farm. When we arrived, they asked if we would like to ride out with them to move the sheep from one paddock (enclosed field) to another closer to their farm. We put on gum boots and headed out. Will and I both agreed that at times it was scary as we held on for dear life. The hills are extremely steep, and with my camera it was difficult to show the depth.
The first picture was taken near the top of the grazing land and shows the farm in the valley way below. Note Will and Dave climbing up the hills as they got closer to the sheep.
I wanted to feature the dogs as they are very well trained and it was interesting to see how Dave instructed them to move the sheep. They would get behind the sheep, barking and running to gather the sheep together.
