Beechtrees Ohio Buckeye

'Buck'

May 29, 1994 - December 27, 2008

Our 1st Livestock Guardian Dog ~ Buck

October 1994

Buck taught us a lot about what it was to be a good LGD.

Buck
Forever faithful to his human family, his sheep flock, and his farm.
Always ready to announce a visitors arrival, keep strangers away from his sheep, bark at those gawking Sunday drivers and low flying birds, and he was tough on racoons and skunks.

Beechtree Farm interview

Recently I was contacted by a local fiber group to do an interview about my Bluefaced Leicester flock for a podcast. You can find the links below for their podcast, and their blogspot that has posted some photos taken at the farm during the interview.


The title of the interview is:
Here a sheep, There a sheep...
