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.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
