I can't read ear tags on sheep very well. I run my ewes through the race and paint brand the on the off side just before lambing on pasture. A few hours after they lamb, I use spray line and number the lambs with their mother's number. I use blue for ram lambs and green for ewe lambs. Visible numbers can help in mismothering or lost lamb situations. The two different colors helps me to easily draft off the ram lambs from the ewe lambs in the fall. I also put a red dot on the withers of triplet lambs and usually pull the smallest male to go to my neighbor that buys all my bottle lambs. I also, check eyes for inverted eyelids and dip navels. I ear notch twins to make it easy to sort them off later to retain for replacements or potential rams for sale.

Thanks for the response! Makes good sense... Super helpful for this newbie

So why split up the twins from the triplets and quads?

Why don't u have underground shelter for yr animal .

I mean stop being an idiot and don’t record a video if you are in a hurry… if you are not in a hurry your video is pointless

You need to start instead of recording. Let's goooooo!

Good work hands you got helping with everyone! ❤❤

Goats will do it for you

Fix the door properly. And have your dog properly trained not to do that!!! Or time for him to go he will become a bigger problem.

That dirty old egg sucking dog!!! 😂😂😂

Put an electronic fence around the coop

Maybe you’re not feeding her enough? Also, I know you said she’s your livestock guard dog but you should think about getting her groomed once in a while if you do not already do so. Just my opinion but I don’t know anything about you or your situation so take it with a grain of salt because I could be wrong.

Awful

imagine both of them running away together

Adorable little protector ❤

Cute different attitudes from the lambs … beautiful dog

He's not showing off he's obviously communicating with the other dog you can hear dimwits

❤❤❤❤❤

I hope the ewes pay Ben well for babysitting. Or lambsitting. 😅😅😊

Not quite, the nanny doesn't hunt, protect and if necessary will rip a new one in the enemy, then go about life as usual. Do whatever it takes.🤨

That one baby was not phased at all by his showing off😂😂😂. Too adorable

Lol i dident even see the sitting dogs great camouflage 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Grendel !!! 😍

Ben, grendel, grrr. Got it, locked in my memory forever because they're beautiful and fantastic at their jobs 💕

I will be adding more content soon!

You have a nice voice very welcoming you should put more videos of you farm

I concur with the other two comments. Maybe you make something like a flood marker. embed in nicely in the ground with concrete and mark it measurements

You also have to take in that the chain will sink into the dirt every time it rains.

Awesome! Where does the soil come from, and could this be explained by the weight of the chain displacing soil and burying itself during weather events like rain?

Thank you so very much for this!!

Great video

I'm new to sheep and have so much to learn before we build our system. Super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

At 3:45 - what breed of sheep 🐑 is that ?

Awesome video. I've seen dual leadup alleys used for cattle, but not sheep. Great idea. Where did your galvanized equipment come from? It looks like D&S, but I wasn't sure.

Hello! I’m also in MN. I run cattle and goats and just purchased some hair sheep about 2 weeks ago. I do not raise any hay. I purchase it all. I usually roll my hay out VS bale feed. I treat the cattle and the goats in the same manner in regards to spring green up. When I unroll hay in the pasture and they leave well over half of it, I’ll either cut back or quit feeding entirely and let them start grazing. I don’t leave them very long on any 1 paddock so it gets eaten down too much. Then I probably won’t come back to those paddocks until late summer or early fall so the grass has time to recover. I don’t calve or kid until the first of June so the does and cows can get into good body condition prior to that.

Great video and awesome setup!

Excellent video. Lots of information presented really well

That's a really cool idea… I never realized there was such a difference in the life sounds of the two environments

This is excellent. I am constructing a corral, and your explanation helps me a lot with design. I'm 3 years in now with our flock.

If pastured animals can enriched the soil and life of our planets, it does not mean we have to kill them.

@outtaspoons Who's this "we"? You and the tooth fairy? Maybe the great pumpkin.

Nice set up. How many sheep do you have?

Where does the Border Collie Go

simple, clever, efficient, this would help my work

It's not a myth, it's a scientific consensus. Sure, some animal farmers are less bad, and some plant farmers are terrible ecologically, but that's not science/facts/logic etc

Thank you for producing this great video making the 'case' for regenerative animal agriculture from an ethical perspective.

Thanks for the information, it is really useful, I'm looking forward to your video about bale grazing.

The audio difference is incredible. I heard the same phenomenon in an orchard, one wasn't spraying anything in his orchard and his neighbor was a conventional apple grower it was dead silent.

Life promotes life and that life is how we get nutrients into food! Wonder what is the nutrient content of the modern tofu?

Great job!
