Thank you Collieology for sharing my story!

HOW BORDER COLLIES CHANGED MY LIFE: We know that Border collies can inspire so many of you to take up new pursuits, or even a completely different way of life. And that includes Lindsey Williams, from Temple, Texas USA.

A former city dweller, she originally bought two BCs to compete in Agility with, “then a couple of years later we went to a sheep herding clinic,” she says, “and discovered sheep!". She then developed not only a passion for herding, but also photography – “as Border collies are such great dogs to take photos of.” Some of her pictures are featured here.

“I owe so much to an amazing man I met in 2018 called EB Raley,” she says, ”who was 89 years old and still training and competing with his dogs in trials. He gave me my first real working collie, Tom (pictured here), who is now 14 and actually a girl, and she ignited a new passion in me for herding. I have worked hard to learn the correct way to train working dogs and in 2019 we sold our house in the city and bought a 12 acre farm and started raising sheep for our dogs to work and train with. So these dogs have literally changed my life, and I now can't imagine life without them.”

The fog was really heavy here yesterday morning.
So I decided to ride down to the lake. It is whooping crane and Sandhill crane migration time. They fly right through central Texas, headed to the coast. There are only 200 pairs of whooping cranes in the entire world. There had been reports of them in the area.

No luck finding any cranes, but I did get this cool shot of some deer grazing! The fog gives the photo a cool look!

Really proud of my lambs this year! This is the first time I am keeping any replacement lambs. I’ll sell a few to my loyal customers, but most will stay.

It was a long day yesterday getting them all separated from their mothers and moved to the front pasture. The screaming was intolerable, but it is much better today.

Zeus is on duty, there have been reports of 2 big bobcats just across the street from where the lambs are.

Walter our Ram is also up there. But he will be going to his new home next month!

Happy Friday! Off to a dog trial this evening and tomorrow morning! 🙏🏻❤️

He is just 2 months old. He will make someone a nice ram! He is built very nice! Weaning time soon!

Check out this easy-to-understand chart from our friends over at the Wyoming Wool Initiative that details the process wool takes from the beginning of wool's journey, when it’s still on the sheep, to the time it winds up in your hands as a consumer.
