For the past two years, I have been working with good friend and "agriculture" warrior Becky Long Chaney, on a series of agriculture education books as told through the eyes of her twin daughters, my goddaughters, Rianna and Sheridan. Our first book was about their experience raising an orphaned beef calf, "Star" called "Little Star, raising our first beef calf". The second book taught children about the dairy industry called "Mini Milk Maids on the Mooove" and yes, there are supposed to be three ooo's! We are working on the third book now. Star has had her first calf and the story continues. Yesterday, we focused on Jackson, the Chaney's cattle dog and family companion. In earlier books, he's been photographed doing his puppy antics like eating the kid's homemade ice cream and losing his head inside a pitcher to lick out all the milk. Lately, he's really started growing his herding skills and I was able to photograph him trying out his skills while moving the herd of Herefords. It was fun watching him be bold and back off in turns, depending on the audacity of the animal. It's so obvious he loves doing it.
This one's not about to be moved by something less than half it's size.
It's all in a day's work for Jackson.
