Sheep herding

I'm going with:

...a Chicago lot is only 50X135 feet so I'd better keep it real small.

Since I don't have enough room I'm going into beekeeping....though *not* while wearing a kilt!!

Still would like to do sheep dog trials though {sigh}

Kilts + Beekeeping= no problem. Been there, do that. Don't ask for pics!

Back on topic- I picked up a copy of Stories Guide to Raising Sheep several years ago. One of my nieces was doing livestock judging with the 4H club and I got it to learn a bit about them. Worth a look.

My landlord was a beekeeper for many years and his comment was that treated correctly, you could work with bees in shorts and tee shirt. Something to do with calming them down with smoke.

I wouldn't like to try it!
