Barley is finally cut but...
There was a break in the weather so we got our barley cut thankfully! But the rain couldn't hold off for long so the straw is still lying... Its turned so cold with snow appearing on the tops of the hills. We need the cattle inside to protect our ground but we need the barley shifted before we can get them in.

Will I be let loose again?

I went to one of our local marts to a heifer with calf at foot sale. We usually try and buy a couple at this sale to keep numbers up in our herd. I was trusted with this task and I'm grateful that Dad thinks I'm up to the task. Hopefully these heifers will go on to do well for our herd.

Saving medicine & money!
Просмотров 6 тыс.14 дней назад
Took in the last of our lambs to dose using the automatic Te Pari drenching gun. This works hand in hand with my race well as when the lamb comes in, it gets weighed and the drenching gun automatically calibrates the amount of drench it needs. Meaning lambs are not getting over or under drenched, saving of medicine and money! I also took my dimmers back in for their second abortion vaccine and ...
I got the good stuff...

Took all the ewes in for checking teeth and making sure they good to go for another year. Also gave my gimmers their first abortion vaccine which I managed to source back in June before shortages hit...

How are we at this time of year again... In this video I will share with you how and why we sponge the texel ewes. This has been filmed over a couple of weeks because I felt it was better to have the whole process in the one video.

The one week we don't have a slot at the abattoir and we get this draw... Was planning sending the over weight ones live to the mart but there was a change of plan and ending up sending all the lambs on a float south.

We headed to Stirling Mule Ewe lambs sale yesterday where there was over 9,000 mule lambs up for sale. Cracking show and trade was flying! Managed to get 157 lambs bought for running over as gimmers. Dearer than had first thought but I guess it's all relative to where fat lamb trade is at for the time of year.

Obviously wed like all our cows to calve naturally, but sometimes this isn't always the safest option, or even an option at all. If we had pulled this calf then the outcome could have been very different. Severally damaging both or even killing both. It's not a risk we were taking. Vet called, operation successful both cow and calf are healthy. Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to...

First time getting stock through my new set up. Really pleased with how they flowed round it. Backing gates confused the lambs slightly but have adopted it for now.

I bought more sheep...
Просмотров 10 тыс.Месяц назад
Bought some replacement dimmers, 2 year old sheep, for our flock. Went through my lambs again to see what I could send off farm after taking a week off. Picking them heavier this time as time of year lambs go through a growth stage instead of fattening but also weather still hasn't been playing ball. Te pari gets a much needed wash after working in the old set up. Merch Store: livestockfarmher....
Open farm visit is an opportunity and I would love to experience. How do I find out more or apply?
Great job Nicola!
the river Deveron is a spate river, its source being the Allt Deveron and the Blackwater. They meet at Dalriach Pot, just to the north of Cabrach. The catchment area for these two rivers and the Deveron is circa 250 square kilometers or 96 square miles. Go on internet maps and join all the hill tops together encircling the two rivers and the Deveron down to the bridge just west of Huntly. A quick calculation assuming 1/2 inch of rain using USGS site results in 111,520,305 cubic feet of water or 3.16 million cubic meters of water flowing down the river....just with 1/2 inch of rain. No amount of dredging is going to stop this river from flooding its natural floodplain. the river valley was formed as the last ice melted 10000 years ago. As our planet continues to warm (the causes of which are debatable....man made or natural causes?) its going to get wetter. Farming practices will inevitably have to change and adapt to these conditions. As they say the only thing that is constant ....is change. water.usgs.gov/edu/activity-howmuchrain.php
Happy woman on her sheep pens
Hey. Is there anyway that we can message privately
You can't read a measuring tape but you can levitate planks of wood 😂 you did a great job! Well done x
Brilliant Nicola! No job too big no job too small -! 😊 Keep smiling!
Rails look great ur dogs are so mad for work. Bye take care Joe
How is a Cornographic magazine stranded?.

The best for growing rice or a cranberry bog... make that water work for yall
👌
Great stuff Nicola indeed farming is always a challenge 👍
👏👏
Leg is healing nicely, tell us about your dogs, their breed, why you chose them. You say it's cold they are not precious divas with their little jackets lol tough doggies.
Good to see the dog healing well
What kind of working breed r your dogs? If you don’t mind me asking
Your dogs are so cute ❤
Are they Texel Rambs
Enjoyed the video Nicola weather looks miserable over in your place winters are getting longer every where great you got barley cut done a grand job putting rails up Tara is on the mend cattle will be glad to get in you do a brilliant job 👍
Looks good but I'll give you a tip you can use the off cuts as a spacer
Good job on rails 👍👍
Poor wee dog 🐕 Great work with that fencing! 🏴☀️
Environmental agencies have a lot to answer for rivers are better for all wildlife if maintained properly but as usual people sitting behind desks know better than anyone else as always
Grand job on the rails wee Tara looks like she’s mad for work leg doesn’t seem to be bothering her too much glad you got the barley done must be a weight off your mind another job done Well done ye 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️
Is that the river Deveron?
First
Dirty boy going up and down ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When you said you were exposing yourself you dirty lady ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When spacing rails I always go on the height of the hammer head
How are you sir. I really wanted to learn from people like you who have good quality experience. I also rear cows but I don't have the same work and skills as you. Can you please arrange or place some learning at work. Please give me a job in a big farm like yours. I am from Bangladesh
Thanks for sharing Nicola! Feeling your frustration regarding the snapped para cord ! One of life’s pains! Good to see your dog’s leg injury is on the mend! Keep smiling 🙂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a lovely flock of ewes, very uniform. Cold weather makes every task harder.
Joe Mcentegart from Ireland just love ur videos very interesting u work so hard u got new gator keep u dry and warm bye for now 😅
😍👍👏
4:17 is that a ram hanging at the back?
I hope not 😅
❤ fm NZ great video. I only have 4 sheep, who r about to lamb, but I have now broken my ankle, Good timing😅
❤
Super ewes ❤
I think I've said this before but there is never enough praise given: You have a very fine looking farm and your flocks and herds appear well managed. They appear to be thriving. I really enjoy your vlog and look forward to the next one. Well done !
Thank you ☺️
Great video as always Nicola, glad Ur dog's leg is getting better
Question do you think ur dogs are better than collies or did you get them for a different reason just curious?
I prefer them to collies, more energy, great in the pens but personal preference.
Great video again Nichola I had the same problem with my powerwasher with the pull cord breaking so last year I bought a new Honda with a battery and ignition and now I just have to turn the key.
How many tips to the 100 ewes 3 I say
Yeah so roughly 1 to 30
Enjoyed the video Nicola ewes look in lovely condition how soon do you put in your cows and calves you still seem to have plenty of grass hats off to you for the brilliant.work you do very impressive
Thank you. Grass is disappearing but it’s more the mess they make with ground being so wet. Need to shift barley first before cows can come in. 😊
Do you dip your ewes before or after you tup them?
We don’t dip at all.
Great video,but give us a smile Davey lol
Nicola, could you tell us how your sister's lassagna book has gone. Was she pleased with the overall process. The companies she used. Would she publish again? Thank you for your time.
How many ewes go with each ram or is there several ramsey put with a big flock of ewes .enjoyed the video
Thank you. They will be split into smaller groups, usually work 1 ram per 30 sheep. Will do a video of it when it happens 😊
