While this tucker tastes great, make sure you leave room for lunch. Sheep Muster Now you’ll see the amazing patience and skill of the stockman at work with his sheepdog. In order to get the sheep to a particular pen on the property, the stockman directs his canine partner as it moves quickly and expertly among the 50 strong herd. With what looks like effortless skill and speed, the dog will move over, under and around the sheep to achieve his task. Have the camera ready to take a snap when the dog lands himself on the back of a wayward sheep. Sheep Shearing The age-old profession of sheep shearing requires a great deal of practice, skill and agility and here you’ll see it first-hand.
