Extreme sheepherding

Post by fearfaoin »

Here's a video of "extreme sheepherding"
They do some marching-band-type formations
and then strap lights to the sheep and do night
formations...

That's awesome.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Amazing, I remember all the difficulties we had in High School Band. That's a lot of work and the Sheep mind better then the High School Teenagers do, maybe they need the help Border Collies also. :lol:

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

This reminds me of a scene from a 1930's/40's movie called OWD BOB....It's a pretty corny ( :thumbsup: ) movie but there are some lovely images of Border Collies herding sheep over a grassy mountainside just like the one in the youtube clip....with their masters giving directions via whistling and voice....

As far as viral marketing goes this is one of the best I've seen. Truly superb and great fun.

There's a few people trying to poo poo it on another forum I visit, I suggest those people possibly have no joy in their lives at all.
