The above pictures are several things you will see if you come for a visit to look at our sheep.
At this point, I would like to recommend a book to you that has taught us a great deal about our shepherding skills. The title is A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 and it is authored by Phillip Keller. It is a wonderful book that will give a new dimension to caring for your critters and if you've ever wondered about the significance of such terms as "He anointed my head with oil" you'll soon find out. It is a picture of Christ caring for His sheep (meaning us) with all the love imaginable. You'll learn what the shepherd's staff was used for and you'll find out why He made His sheep lie down in green pastures when you would think He would be grazing them there instead, and why they are made to lie down next to still waters. Give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised. It is a Zondervan publication. The ISBN number is 0-310-26790-0.
This next picture is Mike taking the rams back to their pasture after having trimmed their hooves. You'll notice one ram is
on Mike's left (that's Boris), then Pilot and Amram are following behind. Some people like to train their dogs to herd their
sheep, some people like to train their sheep to follow. What can I say? We teach our sheep to follow us.
" My sheep know my voice, I know them and they know me." (John 10:27)
