We are looking after our son Tom’s sheep dog Blink while he is away and we checked the sheep with Blink’s help this evening.
We have no idea of the commands, except away and lie down Blink, so left it all to him. He is amazing, thanks to his wonderful trainer Rob Moore.

With all the hay out of the meadow Robert and Fred spent Sunday afternoon putting up an electric fence to keep the cattle out of the main River Avon leaving the back stream unfenced. We shifted 69 cattle from a brown dead pasture to 60 acres of lush grass at 11am Monday.
By the middle of the afternoon the b******s were through the fence and lying in the reed along the river bank. The wire was in several unravenable knots and a couple of the posts were out of the ground. When Robert went to check them this morning, 6 of them walked up the back stream and ended up swimming until they found a place to get out.
We hate cattle.
