Well, your dad was hard to understand! But now it’s difficult to understand you as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Or the tree is not far from the so. All in jest. Just want to smile and enjoy the RU-vid and give your family the advantage of funds or wealth. You’ve earned it, its just want to understand all conversations, please, smiles, B.

Great to see the weather is doing much better now. 12 to 20% is a huge loss, I've never gone more than 6% in my cattle but most years we are over 100% calf crop because of twins. The Sheep are on average 4% loss but with triples we've gone over 200% live crop at weaning.
I was told by a vet, when first starting with sheep, over 2% mortality I should reassess my husbandry. But rare for anyone to lamb the numbers you do, in this area. I only ran 200 ewes and all lambed in the close pasture or in a barn, typically in May, so easy to do night checks every 2 hrs. and keep ewes with triplets/ quads/quints in lambing pens, so very low mortality. When you are lambing over a thousand and no shelter, the mortality is bound to go up. I've always been curious, do you not have better weather in May, then your grass is up and lambs are ready for market later, when the auctions have less lambs and better prices?
When you’ve got two singles and your putting lambs on, the best thing is to swap their own lambs over. That way they’ve got two new lambs and don’t favour their own.
hi I was wondering does everyone have as much trouble with lambing as you are having, It seems very rough work you have to do, cheers to you and your dad, It's good the weather has dried up for a while ,,🌞☘
So the ewe is stone dead…. Are stones deader than other things.?😂❤😂 Sorry paramedic here and we use gallows humor 😮😊 Edit: I love love love you guys! ❤❤❤❤
That looked to be young Sika stag, you could turn a coin selling the hunting of them hunters go mental for Sika stags. Really enjoyed your videos over lambing and feel for you with the weather struggles
Did ya try the can of lynx spray both lambs heads and tails and on the ewes nose the ewe won’t be able to tell the difference between either lamb then between her own lamb and adopted lamb .
Cuckoos are singing delightfully this morning here in the North west of Ireland, they have been here a week and we love to here them. Mostly come from North Africa. Weather is better here and it has made farming easier, its been a tough spell.
thats from scanning time to whek they are sold. its fairly accurate tbh, you dont count them until you have money in pocket, plenty will doe from here till September
NZ lamb losses sit at around 15-18% with ewe losses at around 4.5% We lamb outside - lamb prices here are crap NZ$110 for a lamb at the market which is 61.08 EUR and cull ewes NZ$67 or 37.20 EUR they do not survive on sheep farming alone
It really is disgraceful. Retired sheep farmer in Wales here. Just had a Sunday roast of Welsh lamb shoulder, it compared very badly with the quality NZ leg we had recently. You produce a consistent quality product that takes a lot of beating. I don’t understand why you are not getting a fair price.
