Description
The 'Art' of shepherding goes back centuries, this scene was captured on the street I lived on in Delta, Colorado on a early Autumn day. What an awesome sight to start your day with!
A shepherd's primary responsibility is the safety and welfare of the flock. Some flocks may include as many as 1,000 sheep. The shepherd will graze the animals, herding them to areas of good forage, and keeping a watchful eye out for poisonous plants.
Sheep are Gregarious. By gregarious, we mean that sheep band together and pretty much stay together when grazing etc. ... Sheep see the dog as a predator, or danger, so they band together for protection and move away from the danger. By controlling the dog, a shepherd actually controls the flock.
Shepherds, for instance, herd and tend to flocks of sheep. ... Herders often use herding dogs to help them tend their herd. Herding dogs have been bred to respond to the whistle or other commands of the herder. They keep a herd of sheep, goats, or cattle together.
