Swamp Road, in service, sort-of

The sheep tried out the newly cleared swamp road today.  Kratos led the way and went on ahead to check out the new area.   Anneika came along with the sheep.  They came across quite nicely and went on up the hill into the brush. 

Unfortunately, after they were all up the hill and eating merrily in the brush, Kratos decided to come back.  While not barking, his movement pushed the sheep on ahead of him and they, enmass, moved back across the swamp road and out of the area. Nothing I could do about it. 

Later in the day I tried the sheep again, without dogs.  A few of the leaders came across with me, but when the bulk of them deferred, even the leaders turned around and went out. 

The brush is up enough that we will need to use the Brown Tree Cutter on it, but before we can get a tractor back here, we have some dirt filling to do on the road. 



I will try again tomorrow.
