Goats don’t like wet feet.
Hardest part for the dogs (Conway, Victoria, Sunshine, Mutdipilly) is being patient & massaging lead goats on far side of bridge to take lead & rest of herd will follow.
Catchment just received some gentle rain & has given Brook a quick flow.

Working Dogs: Bridging the Labor Gap & Profitability in Australia’s Livestock Industry
Farmers across Australia are increasingly turning to working dogs to address the critical labour shortages & profitability issues in the livestock industry. These highly trained canines play a vital role in herding and managing livestock efficiently. Here’s why they’re becoming indispensable: 1. Efficiency and Versatility: Working dogs, such as border collies and kelpies, excel at herding cattle and sheep and educate livestock to become calm, collected, confident and profitable. They tirelessly run all day, ensuring livestock are corralled and kept in check. Their ability to cover vast territories and access areas inaccessible to humans or bikes makes them invaluable. 2. Labor Shortages: The bush faces a shortage of human workforce, prompting farmers to rely more on working dogs. These dogs are now considered a valuable part of the team, filling the gaps left by labor shortages 3. Cost-Effective Solution: With the high cost of human labor, having well-trained working dogs eliminates the need to employ and accommodate additional staff. These dogs are br
