DownloadIn loving memory of Betty Levin by Abbie
Betty met Stan in 1983 at Codman Community Farms and introduced him to sheep. Betty provided Stan with his first border collie in 1986 named Hans.
Throughout the years Betty Levin was very positive, affirming, and supportive of Stan’s many farming endeavors. Most of our sheep and all our border collies in Hardwick had a connection to Betty’s farm. Betty was a trusted friend and mentor to Stan.
There were many visits, phone conversations, and emails over the years. Often, my family would visit Betty on New Years Day. My photos of Betty’s farm are in a public Google album. Betty appreciated my images. On January 2nd 2013, I shared with Betty a photo of ram Gilligan with his harem. She replied that “There is nothing more stunning than a sea of sheep in snow.”
My sons Simon and Evan have fond memories of playing with the border collie puppies in Betty’s home.
While we are here to grieve and mourn our loss, I want to share a message that Betty Levin's spirit and legacy is with us. I can see Betty smiling at our two-year-old grandson Rowan who is best buddies with a Levin Farm descendent Scottish Blackface ram.
Fascinating Drone Perspective of Scottish Blackface and Border Leicester Ewes and Lambs Done by Evan White on April 7, 2019
Simon made this charming video of a lamb staying warm on her mother's back.
This video was done with a drone owned by John Lyons on March 16, 2016. Lenna is 14 months old. Herding ewes with young lambs is not recommended. Often the ewe's strong maternal instinct overrides compliance to border collie persuasion. Ewe aggression can confuse and disarm border collies. You can see Lenna being challenged by a ewe who senses that she is young and inexperienced. However, Lenna is bold and fearless. She is not intimidated by aggressive and large animals.
