Dogs with jobs
Is there any interest in stories about dogs doing farm jobs? It is lambing time.

For our breed, katahdin hair sheep, with good nutrition (lush grass) twins are common. Our breeding goals include selection of ewes that deliver and raise twins.
Ewes that are raised with less ideal nutrition, less lush grass (think western range grass vs eastern pastures), are more likely to produce singles.
Our ewes are allowed to have 1 single in their first 2 breedings, after that if they deliver a single they will be removed from our flock.
