Mustering rams out of the pig block

Its that time of the year again when I needed to muster the rams out of the pig block. This is where Jeff is a good dog as he knows the difference of the sheep and the pigs. Before entering the block I said to Jeff that I wanted to get the sheep and he had to leave the pigs alone. on entering the block I had the sow and Digger right beside us and Jeff showed no interest in them. As we got to the top of the block I could hear a boar shomping his tusks which turned out to be Boris and Jeff showed no interest in him.

As we started to head up the other side there were four sheep that moved up the face above us. By the time we got up to the far corner we had seven sheep together. Once on the way down the hill the sheep tried to break away on me through the trees which Jeff done a very good job of turning them and getting them to head the way that I wanted.

Just before we got the gate I picked up an eighth sheep and they went though the gully so I had to open the gate then run up the hill to cut them off and head them back to the gate. I managed to get the rams up the hill past the house and in with the rest of the sheep.
