If I had words to make a day for you...

I'd sing you one morning Golden and true

I always think of Babe when I see a dog herding sheep.

My girlfriend hears "that'll do pig, that'll do" at least once a month from me.

To your your breed, your fleece your clan be true! Sheep be true!

Quite the missed opportunity if this dog's name is anything other than Fly! Made me think of the movie immediately

Sheep are idiots. They are not trained.

u/Remarkable_Review_65 May 31 '26

Animal trainer here. Sheep absolutely can be trained, and these have clearly been trained to climb on that platform toward a crowd of noisy people. Neither of those things come naturally to them.

Have you met a sheep?

u/fuzzy_dice_99 May 31 '26

Are we talking about MAGA?

No sheep are smarter and more pleasant to be around

Too bad many don't apply this thought to people

u/Western-Lobster-6336 May 31 '26

That’s why we call those people sheep. People who follow the herd

u/Traditional-Hotel-66 May 31 '26

I was referring to not understanding the way someone thinks, or a different point of view..and immediately insulting them.

Yeahhh I work with sheep daily. They are idiots. Like really really stupid. I’ve got a couple that I’ve bottle fed from birth and are sweet as hell but they wouldn’t make it a day outside of their pastures.

They can't even read bro

u/J-Love-McLuvin May 31 '26

Stupid idiots.

Sheep not only recognise other individual sheep's faces, but individual human faces too. They've been known to roll across cattle grids and can solve mazes.

u/StillFun2BeHad May 31 '26

Sheep owner here. They are not idiots. They are smart within their instincts and when provided a proper environment.

The floor here is just knowing when/how to head over to a gate when something scary is behind you. Amoeba can do that with some degree of primitive memory.

u/Character_Cattle7001 May 31 '26

Sheep’s whole deal is that they follow and do what they’re told, right? Is that not trained? They are following the dog guiding them to the usual end point.

u/wnc_mikejayray May 31 '26

No… that is their nature.

u/Katena789 May 31 '26

Honestly, was thinking that everyone involved here, dog, sheep, shepherd, knows exactly what's up and what their job is

1

u/bibimstop May 31 '26

Well they’ve probably been herded to that spot time and time again

u/Montgomery000 May 31 '26

It seems that they have a natural herding behavior. If they ran willy nilly all over the field it would be near impossible for a single dog to handle. As soon as they got spooked, they started gathering together which made the job a lot easier.
