Some people have......

....... way too much time on their hands. I found this on another blog - you really do have to take a look at this YouTube video. It's called "Extreme Shepherding" - no really, it's not at all unsavoury! It's a video made by some Welsh hill farmers: click here

Hmmm wonder if we could try this on Graemsay?

  1. Isn't that a hoot! Our Kate (knitter/spinner/weaver) sent us that last week. And you said exactly what I did - some people have too much time on their hands. LOL

  2. That is absolutely magnificent. The best use of sheep and lights I've seen in a long time. It would look brilliant on a small island.

  3. Will, my son - who's an art director for film/tv etc - was approached to organise this (he was on another job at the time so couldn't, but he did ask if my sheep were available!) When he spoke about it I wondered how on earth it could work...but it did and amazingly fabulously too! I expect the farmer’s got paid handsomely for it – well, I hope so.

  4. Mary Z - you have an artistic family then? It is an hilarious video though - and the effort ant time that went into making it!

    Malc - any chance of trying it out with your pigs? LOL! As to "cretin" - I have an inclusive policy on my blog..... all are welcome - LOL!

    Paula - do you know I thought of you as soon as I saw it! LOL! I could see you doing something like that with your sheep. I thought the video was a brilliant idea and such fun to watch. And the work that went into it! And yes I hope they got paid for it. Shame Will was too busy to do it!

  6. W00T!!! That's stunning!!! It's amazing how they coordinated it. Aren't those herd-dogs terrific!?

    Bit of trivia: I'm seeing this on a Samsung computer (made in Korea), and I caught a glimpse of Samsung as the LED supplier, I think.

  8. Anonymous - glad you could drop by! Thanks for the kind words. The sheep video is great isn't it! Just had to share it!

    Sil in Corea - welcome again. I bet the sheepdogs had a great time making the video as well as the people making it - though I suspect the shepherds did quite a bit of running too. Not sure what the sheep would have made of it, wearing jackets that light up must have given them a surprise! Yes I saw Samsung come up at the end. I hope the participants got some sponsorship from them!

    Throughstones - I know - I keep watching it too! LOL!
