A-Mazing!

I received this link in an email a while back. It is titled Extreme Sheep Art and for good reason! The video explains it but here's a quick summary. This is a film of a bunch of guys from Wales who, frankly, have too much time on their hands, and a lot of sheep. They use their well trained border collies to move their sheep in the most amazing patterns you will ever see! The whistles you hear in the background are the sounds of dog whistles some shepherds use to tell the dogs what to do and how to move the sheep. I don't think there is anything more I can say to show the greatness of this video. Just take a look! It will blow you away!!

WOW!!!!!!
Really amazing. And everyone thinks shepherds just sit on a hill watching their herds.

Yes instead they just attach LEDs and try and make formations into art. I think its so amazing. There are no words. I wish that I could get our flock to do that but I think that those Welsh men just have that flair to be so creative and get it right.
