WARNING Maggots'!!! Crutching ewes and lambs. 

I can remember when I was as fit as you don't take it for granted either of you !

Hello from the USA! My cousin raises sheep And I honestly have the utmost respect for all you do for them Good job 👍

Just a southern hi from BEV in Mississippi, USA

New viewer from St. Louis Missouri. Really enjoyed seeing the work, the dogs working and moving the sheep. What a great sheep ranch! I’m a senior, having had a little rural farm experience, it’s just fun to watch your video

No wonder NZ is considered the most beautiful country on the planet. Beauty to behold.

Glad I found your channel! Great work! Love the kids n wife joining in! 💖

I'll live down for most of my life and we never had sheep so watching all this is fairly new to me. Much respect from Rhode Island USA

Great video Alistair happy new year 👌

Hi 👋 from North Canterbury Christchurch. 🇳🇿

Very interesting video 👌

That dog taught you how to "give 5". Awsome

Happy new year brother. Thank you for your video. Varma from India

Tank, shorts n mud boots… that’s some sessy right there for any farm girl n a few who aren’t! 😬😉. Dads n their lil girls make the best kind of team work too!!

Happy new year to you

Nice from Canterbury. Same here cool to have found your channel I'm not a farmer or anything but definitely want to be so no harm in learning a few things first

See one of ta fellas in Scotland = The sheep game ,,, think his name Jock got one them hounds like your big brown fella Cam is the shepherd it's a good watch CHEERS FELLA,S KEEP ON KEEPING ON CHEERS RON

The dogs are great working dogs. I like the brown & black one u we’re giving high fives too. He’s cute 🥰.

Great channel!!! Truly enjoy it!!! Girls are cute... reallly enjoy you getting the fly strikes off the animals. But, one thing. The older shepherd has the heavy link chain around his neck. When he was younger not a problem. But, now I think you should remove it.

Gidday Alistair, really enjoy watching your activities down in Canterbury. We are sheep and beef farming near Taumarunui. I hope you don't mind me commenting on your farming practices, but it looked like you were drenching the lambs and putting them straight onto the new grass paddocks? From a drench resistance point of view it is better to either put them onto old pasture for a week or so after drenching and then onto the new grass, or to drench after they have been on the new grass for a week or so. The aim is to avoid any worms that might have survived the drench sheding eggs onto clean pasture where the only worms they will get to breed with are others that have survived a drench. Hope that makes sense? Happy New Year! Ross

hahaha this guy and his short shorts!haha!

Dog: 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 Man: BOY!!!!! Dog: 🗿

Wowww poor thing... AUTO hope he she makes it. Do u have more footage of the maggots being removed? I find the removal process interesting.

Question: Do you remove the sheared, maggot-infested wool that's on the ground; does the infested wool hatch out with the next generation of flies?

Maggo is not as good as it used to be, the old stuff did wasp nests and anything else you didn't want about the place.

That poor sheep. Why is it's bottom so wet? The sheep poo I have seen locally are tiny round pellets.

Just wondering why u don't put them in a dip pool every few weeks to keep them clean

The question I have is it’s summertime why are they still not been shared

Great video what shearer is that thanks

Do you guys burn the maggot infested fur once it's shaved off??

Do the sheep feel the maggots 'biting' into them?

if that stuff kills the maggots...I wonder what it feels to the sheep when it's poured on them...

So, you don’t kill the maggots, just let them fall to the ground and become more flies?

I have to ask, the sheep with the maggots had feces all over it. Is that normal? Just wondering, not a farmer. Thanks

What is the best herders use to kill maggots on animals? Or mites on chickens that doesn't hurt them? Remember grandfather used a white powder on them but can't for the life of me remember name. Thnx.

we live on the banks of the waimack river

Is this what farmers do? I don’t know what to think. Take maybe more often care of the innocent sheep?

I’d like to ask a question if that’s possible please do you dip your sheep but they do in the UK this fly straight I don’t particularly understand it I know rabbits can die of it and I know my neighbours bunny rabbits a couple of them I’ve dyed a fly strike is it because they’re overheating like getting hot or is it just because of the pesky fucking Fly laying their eggs that’s where a maggot comes from my pissing nasty horrible fucking things

I HAVEN'T Seen NOT ONE MAGGOT ... JUST THE WIFE STAYING IN THE CAMERA..

Looks so painful how come you’re not giving them painkillers? Also you’re pouring chemicals on the basically open well can you imagine the pain that’s covering them

Neglect of poor 🐑😠

Its obvious you dont don't take care of your livestock. All the shit in its fur is disgusting. J understand some to a degree, but that one hasnt been tended to in a while.
