“ABOVE: Stodghill’s Warrior, ESCOA Number 54 709 loading a Brahma calf. The English Shepherd has to be fast and heel low to keep from being kicked. Please notice how Warrior dodges the calf and still keeps an eye on what he is doing. As the calf’s foot hits the ground, Warrior will heel him again, and the calf will jump in the truck.
BELOW: Betsy Shep ESCOA Number 51-0038 patiently waiting for the milk cows to go to the barn, knowing to take it easy and not rush the milk cows. This good judgment of how to go slow, then with intelligence to get rough wen they have to, makes the English Shepherd the finest of all cow dogs. They work with the roughest range cattle or the most gentle milk cows.”
