This is cool, I wonder how herding works. I can’t imagine managing that many animals to move anywhere reliably.
The sheperdess didn’t particularly seem to be leading them. She was sometimes ahead, sometimes in the middle. Once, she got too far ahead and called to them. I got the impression they knew where they were going and she was there to make sure they didn’t lose focus.
It sort of sounds like the herd as a whole has been gradually trained and so newcomers just follow the herd, simple in practice but clearly a routine that’s been maintained for several generations?
I’m only speculating but I think it’s impressive, however it’s done.
Usually there’s also a dog taking care of moving and protecting the herd.
Yes, there was also a dog. He came up to me for some ear scratching.
Did you go into Cordoba for Reyes?
We’re actually back home. I don’t like posting pictures while I’m on a trip.
Fair enough, only asking because we went out in the van and ended up in Cordoba and saw the parade.
I’m from the UK and we don’t do anything like that, it was pretty fun.
Got lots of sweets thrown at us
We was a couple of parades, but they were kids from a particular school. Small things. No tossed candy. We loved the town.
Winter. Have you even heard about such a thing, huh?
:)
On Córdoba it’s not that harsh he seems to be properly prepared for the winds and well, sheeps are sheeps
Careful they’re like little piranhas in groups if one tastes blood there’s a feeding frenzy.
Ewe are kidding, right?
