OUR OL' TIME FARM SHEPHERDS OF YESTERYEAR


Some farmers called their Shepherds, "Farm Shepherds". Others called them "English Shepherds". Nonetheless, each farm owned one.


I've been asked by many folks, "What did your Farm Shepherds look like?" I've gathered photos from my Grandparent's and Parent's photo albums and have put them here.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Due to the age of these photos, I tried to get the best quality uploaded here.
