Bob Kinford and a co-host try to move sheep through a middle gate using a new method called IMG, after a previous bell-training approach failed. A working dog keeps disrupting the attempt, forcing them to reset and try again.
That must be your leader right there.
Yeah, I think so. Here with Bob Kinford. We're going to work these sheep out the middle gate. They've been coming out this corner every morning, and we're going to change it up. Haven't done much with these sheep as far as this. I had trained them to follow a bell, and that had caused some issues. So we're trying to train it using the IMG.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Well, my dog went in there and messed it all up. Just— I'm gonna stop it, Bob, and then I'll get him loaded up over here.
Back to the camera, we recording?
Yep, got you recording. All right, we got the dog out of the way, so we'll go back and try again.
Stay.
Trying to add some diversity to my grazing. These are some Katahdin ewes. I'm going to add some Dorpers in there too. I'm going to get about another 80 head. Hopefully by next year I can have everything mixed in together with the cows and they'll all graze together. That lead U just takes very little pressure there. It doesn't matter, cows or sheep, it's all the same. Just different pressure levels for awareness. Stag. This is my first experience with sheep. I've only had these maybe 30 days. They are pretty good grazers though. They eat the hemp and a lot of the weeds. Hopefully when they're together with the cows, we can— they can complement each other. Bob's without a horse, but he's doing good on his— Foot. Footwork. We figured they'd be a little faster than we wanted coming out.
