The best way to train a good border collie to work cows is to start their training with sheep (they aren't so intimidating). So we purchased 7 Dorper ewes, a hair sheep-so there is no need to shear them, for Kate's schooling. At the introduction Kate is still intimidated, we may have to wait a few weeks to start school. These 7 ewes are all pregnant and since this is the first sheep to ever be on the ranch it is a new enterprise. Hopefully they will all have twins and there will be 14 lambs to market this fall. Does anybody desire lamb for Christmas dinner?
