I really enjoy the "on farm" interviews that you all do !!!

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Thanks, Rick. We have a lot more on the way!

@brigidconroy2111 4 месяца назад

Very interesting and enjoyable miss the farm animals but not necessarily the 24/7 commitment ❤

@LinessaFarms 4 месяца назад

We understand. 😬

@michaelripperger5674 Год назад

We just had a litter of 1/2 Great Pyrenees and 1/2 Anatolian. We are excited to see how the mix turns out

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Very nice, Mike! Please keep us posted. Thanks for your continued support. 😬

@joyceweaver6949 Год назад

I had 2 female (spayed) Great Pyrenees & Anatolian cross females a few years ago. They were the BEST guard dogs for sheep that I have ever had. I've had several straight Great Pyrenees for the past 35 years and the cross of the two breeds is much better.

Loved the interview, very informative. IMO the music sections were too loud, it was a bit jarring audio wise going back and forth from music to spoken segments.

@jayhill8958 Год назад

Same. Was listening in the car and had to turn up to hear the information but deafening when the music came up.

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Noted! Sometimes what gets formatted in Premier Pro and what comes out on RU-vid are not the same. For some reason, any music segments seem to get amplified and we are working to figure out how to deal with this. In the end, if it continues, we just won’t have music. Thanks for watching!

We are raising Katadin in the Northwest where it rains most of the winter. We have about 20 ewes 20 lambs and 3 rams on 41 acre of which about half is grass fields. We feed them a bucket of beans and rice in the morning. We just started using an orgainic all stock mixed in water in the morning. It does the same thing as the beans and rice. The come into the shelter every night where we keep a modified round bale feeder full all winter. We go through 24-26 round bales a year. We don't separate the herd so when they are ready they do their business, and lambing happens in February. We created a communal nursery area this year, that worked quite well. The first day they are confined in the calf hutch for bonding. I had one bottle baby that we named Tenac because his mom rejected him and he survived by getting milk when they were feeding. After a week we started him on the bottle. He has had scours and other problems but he is doing well now. We are selling the rams for $250-$275 and ewes for $230-$250.

@karenzepeta6473 Год назад

I agree with him the katahdin sheep are hard to beat, I have a dorper cross-ram that I got this year and I've noticed that I've have to worm him About every 3 or 4 months and the katahdin's once a year if that

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Thanks for watching, Karen. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a message. Best wishes to you this upcoming lambing season. 😬

@richardgregory6455 Год назад

Awesome information

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Thank you!

@karenzepeta6473 Год назад

And I like having my babies in May, because the grass is gold let it do the work for me in putting weight on them

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Thanks for watching!

Might have to go out and look at it

@spoolsandbobbins 6 месяцев назад

Just brought home 3 dorperxkatahdin ewes, on the heavy side. We’ve backed right off on the grain due to the weight we feel has contributed to their hoof abscesses (from being in very wet conditions), Shelly hoof on several of them. Besides that they appear healthy. We weaned them off the grain over the first 2 weeks. Is there any danger, nutrition wise, in not feeding grain in winter when they’re obviously used to it? They really enjoy hay…. Another great video Tim! Thanks for all your hard work.

@LinessaFarms 6 месяцев назад

They should be ok without the grain. You'll just want to monitor their body condition and see where you are at. A good free choice mineral, sodium bicarb, hay, and water will work fine. If you need to start feeding grain, 1/2 pound of corn per head per day can help give them a little boost. If you are concerned about coccidia prevention, you can purchase mineral with deccox in it. Keep us posted on how things go.

@@LinessaFarms great advice! Thanks again Tim!!

@davidfarm8095 10 месяцев назад

I have 5 acres clay soil. It rains alot. hot summers cool winters. most western corner of upstate of South Carolina. what the smallest Hurd can you start with. I have worked around small cattle farm that my grandparents and father owned. but that was 60 acres with hay production on some of it and 30 cows.

@LinessaFarms 10 месяцев назад

If you’re just getting started, you can easily get by with a herd of 1 male and 2 females. This will give you the opportunity to get going and learn. It will also help you to decide if this is what you want to do before investing a large amount of money.

@bolarinwasolankeyorubalearning 7 месяцев назад

Nice interview, i see people like Greg Judy say they don't worm sheep, how difficult is it in your environment? Is there something to learn? Though he seems to move his animals faster 8hrs

@insulinunit Год назад

Very educational and il like new ideas. What is the mix 30?

@LinessaFarms Год назад

The Mix 30 is a corn and soybean based liquid available in the midwestern United States and used as an animal feed. It is 16% protein and 10% fat.

Where did he get the auger for the drill

@LinessaFarms Год назад

Hello. I made a video about this. The link is in the description. Have a good day! ru-vid.comqrhf8TslCiY?feature=share

@brianstewart51286 Год назад

Good lord could u imagine hoof trimming. Better have a big family or lots of friends u can count on.

@LinessaFarms Год назад

We will be going back to their farm this summer and covering that!

@joyceweaver6949 Год назад

Put a truckload of gravel in the lane from your pastures to the barn and you will never have to trim hooves again.

Enjoy your thoughtfulness. However, too much talk. Never see stock in depth, brands, and types. Just let king for more in sincere scenery. Talking channels don’t get as many likes. Looking at soils, lands, and more.

Thanks for watching. We appreciate your feedback. 😎
