We like them and they are pretty used to us already since they have been in with the group that we have been working with our dogs.
We used our Aussie to load them into the loading chute and into the trailer. This was her 1st time being in that close contact and she was a trip keeping control of her.
These are mostly Katahdin with some Dorper back a couple of generations.

Can you believe it Mike!?
This is wonderful! You have been here and part of this community for 2 1/2 years. You have allowed us a part of your life's journey. Today your sheep finally arrived! This has been wonderful to follow and this will be such a great encouragement to others. You didn't rush, you planned! One step at a time.
You guys have to be so tickled!
Now the real work begins.

Southern - There were several times that we came close to doing something impulsive but we made ourselves take the long run view. Even with getting an LGD before we were ready, if you remember, you set me straight on that one. We have had livestock before but it has been a long time and never sheep. Our mentor where we train and especially this forum has made this a much easier journey.
We are a dry lot setup for the short term and Teresa was having a ball in feeding them and then getting them to follow her around.
I probably haven't gone out to check on them more than a dozen times since it got dark.

You'll probably be going out a dozen times an hour when you bring your LGD home

The LGD will be a slow introduction Bruce. We will be spending a lot of time on a long lead and in a kennel till we are sure that she will want to stick around. We are hoping she surprises us but we aren't planning on it.
