Barb, it sounds like you are moving the sheep by yourself (and a feed bucket). A nice older, slow, retired, careful Border collie might be a good partner for you. Our dogs also bark when they hear coyotes although they are not true guardian dogs.
I believe Barbados are pretty light and quick so a young, fast dog might juist scatter them. Also your sheep will get used to the moving routine pretty quickly.
