North Face Farm:  Marcus

MS Marcus

MS Marcus ABC 368532 CBCA 9806
Born: 3 May 2011
Breeder: Caleb Parker, Conway, MA

I've put Marcus on sheep a few times at 5 months. He is quite a thinker, no surprise given his breeding and what I've seen of him off stock. He is comfortable with his stock and quick to figure out the objectives. Hopefully I'll have a few more chances to work him before winter.

As you can see, Marcus is taking a "the closer the better" approach to controlling his stock. He is generally relaxed in close quarters so I'll let him find his own place for now.




This is a son of Levi, a grandson of my Cato. Cato was named for the Roman statesmen and philosophers, Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Elder) and his grandson Marcus Porcius Cato Uticencis(Cato the Younger). Marcus' mother Fly is a full time cow dog working in the dairy.
