Saving Time with Herding Dogs on Community and Utility Scale Solar (ASGA Teatime Replay)

Sheep herding dogs are essential working companions for many solar graziers, saving graziers time and money when moving sheep.
 
For this Teatime, we had a fantastic discussion on acquiring and managing herding dogs with Katie and Brad Carothers from New Slate Land Management, expert herding dog trainer Faansie Basson, and Solar grazier John Campbell, from Ewe Graze LLC in Virginia. They gave us a breakdown of the time saving magic and value of herding dogs, managing herding dogs, using herding dogs to move sheep on larger, utility scale solar sites in a rotational grazing system, and strategies for deploying them on solar sites.
