Never forget sheep on pasture are prey to a variety of flukes, both liver and stomach that cause pain, illness, and death if not repeatedly treated throughout the year. As well, pastured sheep also pick up worms that can also cause poor condition and even death. Running free on pasture is not a paradise for sheep.

I love your system of having sheep on grass. I love Sandi’s system of having her sheep protected indoors. You both make it work with the space you have to work with. Shepherd Creek Farms also is a major grain producer, so running sheep outdoors isn’t really feasible for Sandi. You on the other had have access to lots of rented pasture land. I love seeing how both systems work. I missed my calling. Who knew that I’d learn at age 45 that I love sheep? Unfortunately, I live in a climate that’s not very conducive to raising animals with huge fur coats. It would require constant sheering and animals with hair type wool for a system to work here. We generally get several days here where the temperature is close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit or close to 38 Celsius. It’d be hard to keep animals comfortable in those temperatures.

Very true! But Cammie would need more than just one livestock guardian dog for his operation. As I understand from folks with larger operations, they work better if there’s more than one dog per flock - usually an older, experienced dog and a younger trainee. If several flocks are pastured in different places, you’d need multiple sets of guardians. Keep in mind, the guardian dogs are going to require food, vet care, and regular parasite treatments - so they would add additional expenses and chores to the daily operation - because unlike the sheep they protect, grazing is not an option. If you look into different livestock guardian breeds, you will see they are each suited to the conditions where they were both developed and in regular use. The UK has created more breeds of sheep than any other world region - but no breeds of livestock guardian dogs! However, centuries of UK farming practice created many herding dog breeds whose incredible range of skills have proven so useful you now find them all over the world.

I think kangals and some of the other shorter haired breeds - like Anatolian, Gampr - shouldn't be too bad for the UK as long as they have shelter. They are double coated and incredibly hardy. They do need some training, but good ones have excellent instincts to start with, too.

I think they regulate against it because of a parasite that dogs get from eating sheep muscle. It’s highly avoidable. I have never had it in my flock. Also their foot path system through pastures would probably need to be fenced off so that the dogs wouldn’t follow people in and out of gates. It’s wild what they have to put up with in terms of people wandering around in their fields. I wouldn’t dare in New England. Were someone to walk their herd dog mutt into one of our pastures and let it free my dogs would either kill it or force it to behave, and I could see that getting dicey for the UK folks who have city slickers walking around with untethered dogs.

I have been watching a Turkish channel where itinerant transhumance flocks spend winter in the lowlands and hazel orchards but go up to the high plateau in summer. They are not so keen on the Kangals but prefer a thick coated black sea variety which is becoming rare. No good mixing with Border Collies as they don’t agree. The sheep are used to following the shepherd anyway who is in constant attendance due to bears that are a protected species. They only showed you the best.

I ve watched this vlog twice before I comment….but you do lead me back down the journeys of my past. So how did I no it was Turkiye before you said it. …lived there 8 years. And loved every minute…. Don’t no a lot of details about their sheep but I ve probably tasted more home made ( non commercial) different kinds of cheese than most. U said some cheese was an acquired taste but did anyone explain about the grades of cheese with salt right down to no salt..so all tastes satisfied. Re the Kangals……Turkey is massive land wise and mostly mountainous( with 66 million+ population) and altho they have shepherds, these dogs can do the terrain and protection much better. I m sure it looks like puppy farming but it’s not done for money, it’s the jobs they do. But of course in the towns, like anywhere there are packs of free roaming dogs. …Kangals being the alphas…..so it’s not joke when , walking down the marina in Marmaris around 1 am….heading to meet friends and confronted with a pack and 2 Kangals…that would be one of the many nights I didn’t meet friends…by heading home walking backwards of course. ..so many stories to tell

👀 Look at those skinny sheep! I never knew there was a breed of dairy sheep! Now I want a cheese taste test lol

I thought the way you presented the puppy farm as a difference in what they need for how they farm was very well done. Puppy farms that we identify in western culture are for the purpose of greed, I'm not saying they do not make money on those dogs, but they are a necessary part of livestock raising. This was so interesting and presented with a lot of respect. Well done

I bet if it wasn’t regulated against guardian dogs would work fine for you with an investment in fencing to keep them where you put them. My dogs never break fence and if they did they’re pretty friendly. They defend the sheep, but the one time I had a pair loose and they left one of our farms they just went to the next door neighbor’s place to visit their dog and get loved up on the porch. They don’t have to be aggressive with people to defend sheep from animal attacks, and they are highly controllable with electric fencing.

Very interesting tour!

Definitely different but interesting 🤔 I do appreciate that you're so respectful of their practices even though it's not something you would probably agree with

Really interesting and makes me think about the difference between "dog breeder" and "puppy farm". Certainly in the UK I think our concept of a "puppy farm" is dogs who are constantly bred, with litter after litter, with no thought to genetics, and the pups sold for as much as possible. Some dog breeders are like that, many aren't but some are. To me, the question is are the dogs happy, healthy, and treated well? Are they constantly bred or do they have a litter once every year or so? Are the matings considered to stop over-breeding/in-breeding/illness. I'd hope that these being valuable working dogs they are, if you're selling to farmers and shepards who know about dogs, and will tell all their mates if you sold them a duffer or a sickly dog then it's on the puppy-farm owners to do a good job. There are certainly more (& less!) ethical ways to breed dogs (& anything else), the dogs in the video looked happy and healthy, and what more can you ask? High animal welfare, farming, and making a profit, can coexist. Also, y'know adopt don't shop if possible, and always do research on the dog breed you're interested in and the breeder. Make sure you see pups with mum if you do get a puppy.

I really wish we had UK sheep and goat cheese here as most I buy is from Europe. Two lactose intolerant children

I love that the government has Livestock Guardian Dogs.

Wonerfull sheep farm...

I would assume in Turkey there isn't as much plentiful grass and so confinement has a better ROI. Possibly the land is more expensive as well? In Scotland, would it make more sense to fatten the lamps inside to get a higher daily gain and have a more uniform pen of lambs at sell time? It would be interesting to know what the ROI difference is given the difference in operating costs.

Bursa is not in Europe. The Kangal is not strictly speaking a guardian dog, as it will pursue and kill a predator, they are famous for not responding to commands to return, once they have a scent, it will happily live alongside: guardian dogs, sheep, goats, chickens. I have seen them in Northern Greece and Thrace, they can be quite terrifying, although none has ever bitten me, they have frightened me shitless on multiple occasions. It is a regular problem for mountain walkers in the Balkans, something you don't often come across in the Pennines or Lake District.

That bruised my heart

We have Kangal Shepherds here as well. I love Caucasian Shepherds personally. Definitely not a fan of mill type farms. However, being in the dog world myself, if the people are doing all health tests and breesing responsibily along with excellent housing conditions and care, then i see no real big issue
