Bobs fast round-up: Before hill farmer Bobby Lennox took up biking to the round-up
Bobs fast round-up: Before hill farmer Bobby Lennox took up biking to the round-up, his life was a proper sheepdog trail. The vastness of his sprawling farm at Luss in Dunbartonshire meant that Jet - his collie dog - and two other canine helpers, just couldn t cope with all their 2300 flock. So after scrambling around for a solution, 28-year-old Bobby adopted a cross-country motorbike to help on the 5000-acre spread. Bobby says: " Since we trained the dogs to squat on the bikes while we ride around, we ve saved countless livestock." March 1983 P004550

Once burdened by the vastness of his sprawling farm at Luss in Dunbartonshire and struggling to manage his 2300-strong flock with just three canine helpers, Bobby found an ingenious solution. With determination and resourcefulness, the 28-year-old farmer adopted a cross-country motorbike as his trusty companion on the 5000-acre spread. The bike became an essential tool for him and his loyal collie dog named Jet, along with two other four-legged assistants. Together, they formed an unstoppable team that revolutionized their sheepdog trail.
