This demonstration takes place at Lone Pine. There were two dogs: one that herds the sheeps and moves them wherever the shepherd wants. The other dog works the sheep once they are in the yard, keeping them moving through the chutes and such.
The sheep shearing was very fast. I think it was a little upsetting to some of the students who may not be used to the way farm animals are treated. The shearer is not particularly gentle with the animals -- but it was pretty typical of what goes on at a sheep station.
