True to our nature, Budda and I changed our lives completely. Uprooting from the city we sold our house, left our businesses and networks and moved to 7.2ha in the country. (Rest assured, I will be planting peach trees and gorging on their abundance.)
We've decided to use this digital space to connect with those closest to us in a more exciting and visual way. At the same time, these videos are public and others are welcome to live a little vicariously through our novice attempts to get farming right and to be part of the new future.
My/our biggest learning curve are the sheep. So much to learn I can't even begin. We also have a 60ish year old stand of Tasmanian Blackwood trees and with Buddas interest in fine carpentry, and recently in milling, tree felling is on the agenda! My current interest is food sovereignty and not to have to "work" away from the property. We aim to plant many trees with a focus on natives and a home orchard.
I think it's a girl on the left and a boy on the right... it's hard to tell unless I can get a glimpse between their legs 😂 and there's so many lambs now I wouldn't be able to tell them apart to find out.
I used to be a shepherd working amongst sheep but I had to give it up due to ill health issues and i loved every single second of it all the different things you saw were beautiful and the sheep had good hearts in them at lambing times that was one of my favourite times of the year darling sweet sexy young lady xx xx
@briantaylor467 Sheep are such gentle and social creatures, what's not to love? They have some lovely markings on them, too, this year. You'll get a laugh out of this though; our first 2 weeks on the property with these 50 ewes I would only walk next to the fence so that, if they all CHARGED at me I could jump the fence and escape. It makes me roar with laughter thinking about it now. They'd have to be on some sort of cocain fueled frenzy to charge at me, those docile wee creatures 🤣🤣😅 And, thank you for the kind compliments ☺️ I'm certainly not out here trying to be glamorous, haha
@@kakarikicreations darling young lady you don't need to be glamourous you already are and yes you are perfectly right sheep are such beautiful lovely gentle creatures ive always loved them from being little i miss not working with them now as people ask me what's my favourite animals in the world and i say sheep and dogs in that order they look at me as though im stupid i love it when you talk to them and they talk back to you darling sweet sexy young lady whats your name darling sweet sexy young lady xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
@@kakarikicreations darling i know you are not a single lady im just trying to be nice to you its my way in life darling i used to be a shepherd all over the British Isles darling sweet sexy young lady i hope you have a really really good lambing from now on i was only wondering what your name was my name is Brian Phillip Taylor i loved lambing time was my favourite time of the year sweetheart x x
At this age they're all on mother's milk. The lambs with Mums will go from milk, straight to grass. The lambs we have to hand-rear might get a few pellets later on, but they would also be fine just going onto the grass after milk, at least as far as I know 😊
I used to be a shepherd working amongst sheep but and they were the best times of my life i absolutely loved it especially when you saw the lambs playing races up and down the dyke back there was never a better sight to see and it always put a smile on my face ❤
RIP wee lammy , you did what you could dont feel bad , triplets is always bad news , im bottle feeding myself at the moment, love seeing your animals !
@jaspervanp2346 thanks brother! Where's your RU-vid channel at? Stop wasting your time on the evil-of-evils bacefook and bring your lamb feeding to RU-vid where people appreciate that shit. Well...I appreciate that shit 💯
Looks like you have an over stood (neglected) coppice. People would coppice hazel for poles. These poles could be used as is or made into hurdles after splitting. Hazelnuts are ready early autumn, lightly roast to preserve.
@chrisfryer3118 Brilliant, thanks for the tips! I was told yesterday they need some pruning and I plan to look into it. These trees have likely not been tended to in at least 6 years, but probably closer to 10. I'm really keen to give them a new lease on life!
