I am a shepherd with an Icelandic flock and came across your blog while googling “leadersheep”.

There are indeed leadersheep – a specific line within the more generic “Icelandic Sheep”. They’re lovely brilliant things, bred for brains rather than meat or fibre. They look a little different – narrower in most respects and more primitive somehow – but you would not want to have a flock without one.

More about them here –

Great picture – yes, who’s leading and who’s just following the herd. Great question.

I discovered recently that there is in fact a strain of icelandic sheep called leadersheep – they sometimes lead the flock this way and that. Must find out more.

My own small contribution maybe speaks to your issues with leading, too.
