Sheep World

New Zealand - Sheep; Sheep - New Zealand. What else?

The shepherd is explaining about the different job of each dog.

One dog is to bring in all the sheep who have been grazing, or napping, on the hills, into the farmyard.

"Come on, come on, everybody! In, in, you go!"

The other dog's job is to settle the sheep. Like this. They stay put at the same direction as the dog.

See? Obedient sheep :)

The shepherd gave us a game of dividing the sheep between the ones with pink mark, blue mark, and no mark.

At this time it was a school holiday. Therefore, there were many kids. Maybe there were more children visitors and adult visitors.

Sheep with pink mark.

Here comes the awaited moment: How to shear a sheep.

Means to shear a sheep

The kids get a chance of hands on the sheep. Then each of them get a handful of fresh wool to bring home.

The whole event was concluded with lamb-feeding -- by kids only :D
