Rowdy Flock: a daughter, her dreams, and a sheep farm in Norway 

"There's a limit to how long you can dismantle and destroy what's supposed to keep us alive." No truer words spoken. A beautiful doc with a message we should take seriously to heart and mind. ❤

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this vision. Here in Iowa (farming heartland of USA) we are living the nightmare of corporate industrial farming that focuses on efficiencies of labor and maximized yields. The result is a monoculture that depends on overuse of chemicals, is susceptible to droughts, creates sterile soil, pollutes our rivers and drives the loss of family farms. Most of our crops aren't even grown for human consumption but rather for ethanol.

How wonderful to have captured that moment of transition - was a moment for a cry.

Inspirational documentary for someone that grew up on a small family sheep farm in Ireland, and has never really been comfortable with the intensive commercial direction that small family farms here have been pushed into in the last few decades.

Hats off to this gorgeous hard worker lady😎🤗

Such an inspiration and such hard work. The world needs you and thousands more like you. Take care and be well.

What a wonderful Doc, beautifully made and giving viewers a complete knowledge of the subject by showing the work during all the seasons. I personally agree with a lot of what was being said about the future of small scale, intensive labour livestock farming, especially in areas like the Nordic countries where so much of the natural resources are not put to full use, as was explained. I myself graduated from Hampshire Agricultural College in Animal Husbrandry in the late 60’s. After working in an Agricultural company as a livestock officer with mainly large “estate “ farms as clients, and having no relatives in farming myself I realised that there was no chance of me ever becoming a farmer myself with the land prices rising in the UK. After a complete and successful career change here in Finland , i still wonder if I made the right decision. I was never happier when working with sheep and dairy cows on small farms during training years before college. The politics of this documentary really seem to give us a possible “way out” of the environmental problems that we are all facing and it should be taken seriously. Congratulations!

Beautiful film, landscape and people - oh, and sheep too.

It was a delight to see your dreams and hear your fine perspective. Be well! I wish you well!

Very interesting way of life...Tough but meaningful.

Hard work, beautiful scenes, and a lovely story.

This is beautiful to watch thank you 🤍

What a beautiful part of the world! All the best to you

Thank you for this beautiful video. Wishing you all strength, patience, and appreciation.

This video evokes wonderful memories of the time I spent on the farm of my Norwegian wife's parents in the 1960-70s. Same methods of working, same hard life, same beautiful country. Sadly those days have passed.

Really glad to see the movement of resilient and small scale food systems coming to the forefront! Agroecology for the win!

The sheep seem to really like you all, my family use to farm 400 sheep in England, they were always afraid of us. I never wanted to farm that way - with cruelty, kicking shoving and shouting

thank you for capturing the story of this family and farm! love to see it, great film!

such a great capture of life lived with vision and intention

Thank y'all so much for this. Such profound and beautiful truths. Thank y'all for doing what you do. You are seen and appreciated.

Success! For many years. Thanks for sharing this documentary.

A beautiful thought provoking documentary.

I really loved your story and the idea behind it.

Couldn’t agree more, government is abandoning the agriculture sector. This needs to change asap.

Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary.

Beautiful in scenery and in message.

Beautiful and important. Thank you.

Beautiful nature

What a great story. Thank you

What an idea of living a free life.❤️

Wonderful ❤️

Wow what a story.

This should win the oscar like elephant whisperers from india

Quite idyllic, looks like a fairy tale's community farm

Watching this lifestyle gives me hope 🙏🏼

Bellissimo, 👍👍👋

I totally agree with how you see the FUTURE of farming the way you do. I have always seen the TRUTH that is Life for all living things and for the health of our environment. Not only for people but all living things, and our world. I hope you never give in to the pressures of destruction.

Lovely

Would you be interested in some help? Or would you know of someone who would be happy with some help in a place like yours? My dream is having a small flock and homestead… thank you for waking me up !!

Tak Rakel, for inspirationen.(Dansk ja).

Sheep can be a big part of recovering agriculture and the earth, if they are managed well, as this family does. Warm clothing, sustaining protein, all in one fairly compact animal. Toques off to shepherds and their sheep everywhere!

Utopia❤

❤❤❤

Well done! Nice Sheep*****Regenerative agriculture is the future*

Heard she psssd away shortly after filming

The Guardian Headline Police hunt injured suspect even by their standards sick!

Disturbing lack of diversity in that flock.

*So much animal cruelty*
