Tending your Herd is hard work!

[brewmaster15]

Its not easy to take care of your herd. You have to constantly watch for predators and be sure they are safe. You need to be vigilant and even watch out for rustlers even today.. But every herder knows its part of the Job.. This herder is checking over her precious herd:)

Ants protect the Sawfly on an Ash Tree in exchange for a sugary dew they secret. The ant is Farming the Saw Fly Larvae, much like they do with Aphids.
