Sean, thank you for your videos! They are so real and enjoyable... don't ever change anything about your channel... the dogs, the work, your lives in beautiful Scotland! ❤😊❤😊😂
Greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿 home of the silage roller machinery 😅love your videos 🙌Echo is such a delight! Sending midsummer warmth and sunshine to your midwinter 😉💛🧡🙏🏻
Oh, the excitement your dogs have as you approach that green door!! It is great to come along with you and Echo as you tend to the livestock. Your own sheep are beautiful. I love their faces! I agree with others that it is wonderful to see Echo run. Thanks for sharing this morning with us, Sean the Sheepman!! Stay warm!!
I had an older brother who lived in Northern Alberta with a friend who had a section or two of land and raised sheep. He won the North American dog trials a couple of times and (I think) he placed in the Commonwealth trials as well. This was years ago though and my memory isn’t what it was. I do know they were amazing dogs and he was a good trainer. I came from the city where dogs are pets and had to learn that working dogs are not pets, they are a cross between your best co-worker and a companion but they were never treated as pets.
I absolutely loved this episode! Sean, thank you so much for showing the training process you go through with echo. The pet sheep are absolutely adorable. I’m glad you have a pet sheep. They seem like a good little clan. That one’s definitely the leader. Thank you for showing the process of feeding the cows and about the Bails I have always been curious about that. I hope Staci and Kole are doing well. And of course, Monte, Kate, and Storm and Echo!
I really enjoyed this video. I can see how she is the head of the flock. I got chickens and I feel the same way when we start giving names and having favorites ( and aquariums with fish and axolotl). Great video though with bringing us along!
Thankyou for these videos 😊 -brings back many happy memories from my youth! Love how Echo(& all your dogs are so well cared for;& their resultant enthusiasm and obvious joy in their work) - yet needs a "refresher" quick course on a Sunday morn Lol!All the best to you and yours😊( D's Mother)Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 😀 ❤
I'm blaming you Sean. I've started using the phrase "That'll do" to refer to certain situations. It reminds me of my Grandmother when she would get on to us when we were kids and we were getting too rowdy. 😄
Thanks, Sean, that was interesting. And it's lovely to see the eagerness of your dogs - Echo in this case - to get out and work! I was glad to see your Hebridean sheep, too, because I like them.
I'm in Michigan state USA, and i love to watch any and all sheep videos....one of my favs is Sandi Brock and her lot....she often speaks fondly of her visit to you in Scotland.... i also love the other scottish guy with the curly hair...
Boomer lady here in Virginia. Have always been baffled by those huge rolls of hay I see at farms I drive past. Thank you for explaining the hay vs silage and how the rolls are unrolled!
Brilliant video! Thankyou! It's funny to see Echo run back and forth when you're feeding the cows. He's just like an excited little kid. Oh my goodness, and to see him run all that distance in front of your quad and at a fair speed too. Amazing. Nice scenery behind him too. Nice bit of training with the Hebridean's too. Echo doing a lot of running and the sheep not having to move that much.
Great video! We get to see how you feed the cows, learn a little about the equipment, and watch you train Echo. He is a joy to watch. All that energy, competence, intelligence, and love all in one doggie! You end with a nice view of the countryside and dog.
What a perfect experience you and Echo give us today, Sean! We loved every second of this one -- from E's excitement starting out to the cool fast ride up the hill and- - at the finish -- that gorgeous long slow sigh of a panoramic shot . And EVERYTHING in-between. Special moments getting caught up with your herd of elegant black ewes: your favourite the 'Duchess' with her portly authority and of course the tiny one who trails a little behind the other girls. (We used to call my Victorian grandmother 'The Duchess' because she had that same air -- she'd always enter the room as if expecting everyone to bow, and she'd pause there till someone greeted her, drawing the attention she required. Adorable.) Tell Echo how much we love seeing him brush up his training, please -- he is a joy to watch. Thanks from Canada.
To know your purpose and to be able to live out that purpose with precision is a wonderful blessing. These beautiful dogs not only go thru the deep training, but it pays them back with purpose and gratitude when they understand. And another unspoken aspect of the training is that no matter how much they master their purpose, they never take their eye off THE master. Beautiful.
Echo and all your dogs are a pleasure to watch. It's cold here in N. Carolina, USA today through Saturday. An ice/snow cold front coming through . Brrrr... Stay warm.
Not much snow in your part of Scotland! Here in Aberdeen we're blanketed white since NewYear. Love your video's , your farm and your family, including all the animals.. ❤ 🐑 🐶🐷?🐔 ? 🐕 🐄 🐮 mum dad baby all lovely❤.
Love the great explanations you give, Sean! I live in Pennsylvania and have always wondered what those huge round bales of hay were. Now I know, and it's neat seeing how they are fed to the livestock. And it's great seeing your Hebridean sheep again. By the final shots of Echo running and your Scottish vistas, I was smiling and filled with an "all-is-right-with-the-world" sensation. It's so reassuring to know that your world exists.
I pray that the economic importance of sheep will improve so that we will continue to have the wonderful spectacle of sheep dogs. Same goes for you and Tracy, and the baird, Sean.
Really enjoyed the video today and watching echo with the sheep. I watched your video last week where you asked for suggestions of things that you thought people would like to see. I have given it some thought when your little baby boy gets a little bigger it would be great if you got one of those backpack things and took him around with you. I know he's too small yet to be toddling around and learning about being a sheet farmer, but I will really enjoy that when he's big enough. For the time being though for people that are ignorant of how you go about training a sheepdog if you could go into a little more detail and show the basics I know that echo is long past that but it would be interesting to see how you start out with a dog that doesn't know anything and turn them into such an amazing animal and sheepdog as echo is .
I'm guessing the video title didn't get updated, as you explained "eye in a dog" previously, No matter. Loved watching you and Echo working together. Appreciate the explanations along the way. Thanks for another great video! 🐾 💜 Edited to note the video title has been updated. 👍
This was so much fun! I love the silage-unrolling machine. It's most impressive to see a farmer actually tasting the animal's feed to see if it's edible! What happens to the plastic wrappers that come off the bales, do you recycle it? Echo must cover a huge distance in the course of a day's work. Have you ever worked out a rough estimate if how far he would run? Do you use the manure for any specific project? Could you sell it?
Great talk about the bales. Could you sometimes mix in info about breeds? Is it a wool, meat, or dual purpose? Different qualities and uses of a breed's wool? Crossbreeds? Here in USA we might know there are milk and beef cows. But not that you'd have Jersey for butterfat and Holstein for volume. And after a really effective ad campaign the only beef cow is black angus. It would be good to learn the special traits and uses of your Hebrides or a Hampshire. Thanks for the interesting videos. I'm hooked.
You certainly do live in a beautiful part of the world, that view is stunning. I loved how your sheep ran up to you so eagerly, then looked at you like "ok, here we are, do you have treats for us?". I wonder if your 'training' sheep are learning the commands too, since they hear them so often?
Poor Echo bring him into a field and then make him wait 😂😂He is so focused and anxious to do his thing He’s like Frank Sinatra he likes to “Do It My Way”😂

Love your great dogs & your beautiful home there in Scotland. Love your lovely little family!
Hello from Barrie, Ontario, Canada - a Scottish lass missing her roots! Thank you so much for the videos and sharing your knowledge! Echo is a fantastic working boy!
Such a hard worker, and a personable young man…you do your generation and your parents, proud Sean….Echo is amazing in the speed he can run😊 thoroughly enjoy your care of the animals and your videos …. grew up in Felpham Sussex 🇬🇧 live and watching in Oregon now🇺🇸
Well done Sean!, my BC 'Einstein and I watch an episode everyday*, and afterwards he runs outside to the sheep paddock, and gives em' a strong eye- just to let them know he has been studying the finer details of herding! Thanks for the lessons Sean*
😊A day in the life of a farmer is super interesting for a city dweller like me. You explained the silage feed very well and the one sheep, your favorite, really has a special charisma. What does Stacy do all day? Does she also work on the farm? Many greetings from my couch potato border collie and me.
My family once had an oversized Sheltie (21" at the shoulder) that had a coat very much like Echo. He had a tricolor face though. We took him to obedience trials and many people asked us if he was a Border Collie. Great dog.
The black sheep didn't seem to need a lot of herding. As soon as they saw Sean they were heading towards him, indeed even when he was doing the practice drives they seemed to want to head back towards Sean all the time. I guess they were hoping for some sheep nuts on a cold day. 👍
Wet silage? Have you ever opened one of the bales and found it steaming hot with burnt areas? That’s what we used to see inside bales of hay that were put up damp . . . A real fire hazard back when people used barns to store their hay. . . 50 years ago😜

I could only hope to feel the joy that these dogs feel when they are running flat out!
Echo is way too excited to go to work...LOL! He clearly loves his job...and YOU! He is amazingly intellegent....it's so cool to watch!
Sean, thank you for your videos! They are so real and enjoyable... don't ever change anything about your channel... the dogs, the work, your lives in beautiful Scotland! ❤😊❤😊😂
Love your dogs they're so much fun to watch
Greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿 home of the silage roller machinery 😅love your videos 🙌Echo is such a delight! Sending midsummer warmth and sunshine to your midwinter 😉💛🧡🙏🏻
That machinery is wonderful! ❤Do you watch Dalscone Farm also?
Love waking up and watching this.
Echo is so sharp. What a great down to earth video.
Echo has a lot of power being so far from the herd and the ability to control them. Wow!
Thanks for your education Sean.
Echo's a workaholic. Love watching his skill and joy at doing his job. Such a treat to watch border collies doing what they were meant to do.
Their energy is amazing ❤
Oh, the excitement your dogs have as you approach that green door!! It is great to come along with you and Echo as you tend to the livestock. Your own sheep are beautiful. I love their faces!

😂 I use it at work, especially when I’m getting off.
Wasn't that phrase used in the movie "Shrek" (don't know if I spelled it correctly)

Greetings from Germany I am a little fan. God bless your family dogs and animals.
Thank you. I love watching the animals and learning. ❤
So enjoyed the video. Love o our Echo❤❤
Echo is one happy dog!
That dog is a superb talent.
I love these videos. Your farm is neat.

I LOVE ALL DOGS, SO SMART, FRIENDLY
Beautiful. I'd love to know what speed you are going when you accelerate to catch up with Echo?
fabulous video, thank you
Enjoyed the video 😊
Echo so excited to be with you.
He worships the ground you walk on.
This was an interesting video like all of yours.
Echo and Sean my favorite boys❤
You get to work in heaven on earth, Sean! Beautiful scenery with wonderful Echo! ❤❤
Liked the sheep jumping over the trough! Like athletes in training ! Lol
I wonder if the sheep are learning the voice commands too?
It really is a thing of beauty!
Echo certainly had some energy to run off. A well working dog is such a pleasure to watch. Enjoying your channel from a snowy afternoon in the USA.
Dad on motorbike. Echo looking back and saying: "Catch me if you can, Dad!"
Loving Echo's enthusiasm for Sean, his work and life in general ❤🎉 God bless you and all your human and doggo family Sean an Stacey
Not much snow in your part of Scotland! Here in Aberdeen we're blanketed white since NewYear. Love your video's , your farm and your family, including all the animals.. ❤ 🐑 🐶🐷?🐔 ? 🐕 🐄 🐮 mum dad baby all lovely❤.

1:27 complaints, you are late🤣
Those cattle were clearly waiting for breakfast!😂
Echo knows what to do. Listening to you.
Godd training session. Good boy Echo. ❤️🐾
It’s a beautiful thing to watch Echo run and train. And he’s such a wonderful helper and companion. Thanks for the video.
Really enjoyed the behind the scenes on a farm. Thanks.
I don't know why but when the Hebrideans are coming towards you and you say lie down I keep expecting the sheep to lie down😂
Me too! 😂
Echo is just so full of life! He has such a magnificent coat too.
Glad that even good shephersd get a wee lie-in sometimes!
I agree. Good on Sean for a little sleep in.
I pray that the economic importance of sheep will improve so that we will continue to have the wonderful spectacle of sheep dogs. Same goes for you and Tracy, and the baird, Sean.
Echo looked tired at the end. I think you finally wore him out. 😂 Great dog!
Great video, feels like we're there. Love the explanation about what you do. How do you remember it all? Thanks and good health to all.

Even Echo tired himself out. Glad you didn't lose any more of the Hebrideans after that one scare!

Echo is a delight to watch❤❤❤ thank you for sharing with us.

Professor Sean is not employed by the university, but he will instruct you here for no money. How great is that
What a beautiful amazing dog Echo we !I've go see her and your hard work so genuinel thank you
Poor Echo bring him into a field and then make him wait 😂😂He is so focused and anxious to do his thing He’s like Frank Sinatra he likes to “Do It My Way”😂
Love your great dogs & your beautiful home there in Scotland. Love your lovely little family!
Interesting- I've always wondered how farmers unroll the those giant marshmallows.
Hello from Barrie, Ontario, Canada - a Scottish lass missing her roots! Thank you so much for the videos and sharing your knowledge! Echo is a fantastic working boy!
Thank you for sharing your Sunday ❤
Beautiful area/scenery at end of video Thank you so much😊
Love this.
Scotland is so pretty; I hope I can visit someday.
Such a hard worker, and a personable young man…you do your generation and your parents, proud Sean….Echo is amazing in the speed he can run😊 thoroughly enjoy your care of the animals and your videos …. grew up in Felpham Sussex 🇬🇧 live and watching in Oregon now🇺🇸
This is great! I love the "Day in the life of a farmer" videos on your channel above all others.
Well done Sean!, my BC 'Einstein and I watch an episode everyday*, and afterwards he runs outside to the sheep paddock, and gives em' a strong eye- just to let them know he has been studying the finer details of herding! Thanks for the lessons Sean*
Your work ethic Sean is enviable.
Oh so wonderful, Echo's the boss🙃 checking things out. Great viewing. Thank you.
😊A day in the life of a farmer is super interesting for a city dweller like me. You explained the silage feed very well and the one sheep, your favorite, really has a special charisma. What does Stacy do all day? Does she also work on the farm? Many greetings from my couch potato border collie and me.
Echo is beautiful!
I know its very hard work, especially in the depths of winter & stormy days. But what a beautiful life you have.
Very smart Dog !!!
Love watching him run! How fast is he going? Thanks!
What a wonderful dog Echo is!
Working dogs are happy dogs😊❤
Sean, you are amazing
So smart and beautiful dogs ! It is a pleasure watching them work! Saludos desde México y feliz año 2025! Me encanta el canal.
Echo is ready to go to work!!❤❤
My family once had an oversized Sheltie (21" at the shoulder) that had a coat very much like Echo. He had a tricolor face though. We took him to obedience trials and many people asked us if he was a Border Collie. Great dog.
and now also - jumping sheep 😂
MENS BEENST FRIENDS ARE DOG, TAKE CARE, BLESS ALL DOGS
Love it all. Thank you. 🇦🇺❤️
God Love border collies .. they are the best
The black sheep didn't seem to need a lot of herding. As soon as they saw Sean they were heading towards him, indeed even when he was doing the practice drives they seemed to want to head back towards Sean all the time. I guess they were hoping for some sheep nuts on a cold day. 👍
Love you video, always wanted to grow up on a farm. Get sick of people and never tired of animals.
Echo fair has zooming in this vid. Loved seeing him jump on the silage - getting in shot lol
Wet silage? Have you ever opened one of the bales and found it steaming hot with burnt areas? That’s what we used to see inside bales of hay that were put up damp . . . A real fire hazard back when people used barns to store their hay. . . 50 years ago😜
I wish I loved my job as much as Echo does.
