Thank you for the very well-written article in the Country Crossroads section of the July 8 Manitoba Co-operator on “Life Made Easier with Stock Dogs.”

This is one of the best articles I’ve read that explains in simple terms how dogs can greatly help whether you have cattle or sheep. Although having a dog from proven working lines increases the likelihood that the dog will have herding instinct, many dogs can and do learn to sucessfully move animals in a helpful manner.

Anyone interested in learning more about or with their dogs are welcome to come out to the First Annual “Run for the Gate”
