How I learn to handle sheep:
Read books.
Study diagrams.
Talk with sheep owners.
Trial and error when I try to move them from pasture to pasture or into the barn.
How Caeli, my Border collie, learns to handle sheep:
She's born with the instinct.
Beth's menagerie includes a flock of Katahdin sheep, Buckeye chickens, a llama, Haflinger horses, cats, and four Border collies, including a few that herd sheep. When Beth isn't outside watching the critters, she's writing, working, and convincing her husband that the animals aren't too much extra work.
