Me, I’d just spread their favourite food in the right pattern and let the sheep sort themselves out.

Those must be some dogs…what with being able to command the sheep so deftly from some distant, off-camera location.

Better example with much clearer overtone sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1pcEtHI_w
Though not Amazing Grace.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this image before and the farmer had spread food in a way that spelled out “Spring.”
Even if I hadn’t seen this image before, as someone who’s actually herded sheep with my collies, I see a some things that make this photo inconsistent with the caption. The biggest is that there are no sheepdogs. This is a darn complex series of shapes and to get anything close to it would require a lot of dogs and a bunch of handlers. It’s hard enough to get sheep to stay in one roundish bunch let alone forming a series of letters. Heck to form the “P” would require a dog in the middle of the loop to keep it open. Finally, when herding dogs are holding sheep to a definite spot, the sheep are alert and looking at the sheepdog. The sheep in the photo are relaxed not focused on anything but something on the ground at their feet.

It would have been funnier if it were misspelled!
