Might interest you Dave.
Times they are certainly "changing", look at this from "Down-Under".

I reckon that clip is just for show. It'll never replace a collie because it can't think and doesn't have herding emebed in its 'brain'.
I'd like to see it deal with a belligerent tup that'll only respond to a nip on the nose.

The big sales are in full swing this month too.
Local sheep are thin on the ground.

I'm missing the autumn breeding sheep sales.
It's not the same, but at least some are being livestreamed.

Lockdown 2 has stopped even vendors staying at the marts after they've dropped their stock off. Can't even leave their vehicles to pen the animals. Drop and go. Buyers only, and they have to book in in advance. Sheep dog trials all cancelled again too.
