The Company, as described by its star

Mrs. Pomeroy. Leading lady. Roman nose, one ear tag, and the ONLY ewe here who has studied the course. She goes into the pen FIRST. It is in her contract.

Dot. Bolts at the faintest rumour of a dog. Gifted. Unreliable. Give her a VERY wide berth.

The Twins. Have never once been apart and do not intend to begin this afternoon.

Number 41. Eats. Constantly. Wears the blue stripe, which means she is the one the judge wants shed, which means she is MINE and the answer is NO.

Tidbit. A child of three. Enthusiastic. Runs like spilled lemonade.

Understudy. Role to be cast.

The whistle: ← come-bye (clockwise) · → away (anticlockwise) · ↑ walk up · ↓ lie down · S steady · Enter that'll do · hold Space for the pen rope. The course: down through the fetch gap to your feet, round the post, up through the left gates, across through the right gates, shed the blue-striped ewe inside the ring of bales, then pen all five with the dog lying down by the gate.
