I use border collies. Run around 85 mommas and 50 yearlings. Do all penning with two dogs. You can do a lot with one dog, but two dogs make things go a lot smoother. To be successful get cattle to respect dogs and always set up to win.

I have pretty good handle on my dogs and use them many different ways. Gather and pen. Work in pens. Fetch cattle off grass. Even use them to hold up an turn back in pasture sorting off pairs. I use them to block gate while feeding and haying.

There are many tough dogs out there with more bite then you would ever need. Ill take a dog that want a head over a heel dog. But one that will hit both ends is nice. One that will only heel is worthless to me. I've seen some that will catch that Didnt have any bulldog in them.

Ill try to post a few videos
