Three-Year-Old Shows Off Her Impressive Sheep-Handling Skills—And, Honestly, It's Better Than We Could Do

Barley has impressed thousands with her sheep-handling ability as a three-year-old. Now, her skills have gone viral.


Barley lives on a farm in Norfolk with her mother Caitlin Jenkins and her father.

She was gifted her own flock of sheep on her first birthday so already has more than two years of experience.

And when a video of her sheep-handling entry to an online agricultural show was posted online, it did not take long for Barley to win the hearts of the public.

The Greatest Online Agricultural Show gives people the chance to show their livestock online after the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of rural shows.

Each show has a category for kids. So, kids under 8-years-old who have been raised in farms show off their skills.

In Barley's video, she can be seen alongside Ethel the sheep, taking her for a walk and commanding her to stand.

“As a family we have around 200 sheep on the farm, however the Border Leicester sheep belong to Barley," Jenkins told the PA news agency.

“Ethel is the oldest sheep in the flock, she's very kind and has a good friendship with Barley."

Understandably, the internet was loving this unusual friendship.




One person even captured the moment in a drawing.

Turns out, these skills are practiced all over the world.

“Barley loves nothing more than to be outside with us farming, she is very hands on and gets stuck in come rain or shine," Jenkins said.

A Fox News host whined about Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris not conceding on Tuesday night and supposedly denying President-elect Donald Trump supporters from "having their moment" celebrating his White House comeback victory.

After a tight race where Harris and Trump were deadlocked in the last weeks of the 2024 election, Trump surpassed the 270 electoral votes necessary to become the 47th President of the United States, with the AP officially calling it at 4:30am Wednesday morning. Harris conceded to Trump on Wednesday and gave her concession speech that afternoon.
