INTERNET users have been flocking to see an online video that features local farmers putting their sheep through some of the most impressive displays of sheep herding ever seen.

The online video, Extreme Sheepherding, has been proving a real hit, having already attracted more than two million hits on the website YouTube.

The video, seen on many other places on the web, features a group of Carmarthenshire farmers demonstrating their shepherding prowess.

Among the astonishing images are a giant sheep made up of individual members of the flock, sheep in LED coats forming a "fireworks" display against the hillside and even sheep in LED coats playing a round of the classic early tennis computer game Pong.

Images of the LED-clad sheep are even used to recreate the world's best-known painting, the Mona Lisa, this time attributed to Leonardo Baa-Vinci.

Taking part in the video are: Wyn Griffiths, Rhys Francis, Georgia Davis, Emris "the electrician" Williams, Gerry "the player" Lewis, Rob "the LED master" Jones and Bernard "the general".

Bernard "the general" is better known as Bernard Llewellyn, the NFU Cymru county chairman for Carmarthenshire.

He owns a sheep and cattle farm next to Carreg Cennen Castle.
