That was another great video Glyn, the lovely countryside and you working with the sheep, you must be knackered at days end, however a great watch, thank you and regards to your father.
Love the crack between you and your father not like most of the other stuff on here were its all scripts the old fellow is following his own scrip 😂😂 the real deal is best 👌
Your videos are getting better every week. Your Father is a laugh. Hope you enjoyed your well earned holiday. Keep up the good work. Talk to you soon from Boston.
Great video Guys 👍 I was lol at your Da teaching the lad a few extra words regarding the round up 😂 In the name of the wee man that scanning fella doesn't hang around👍is his middle name Gonzalez 😂 Take care, stay safe and warm ❤
Your to hard on yourself glyn. Given the harsh weather you had at the start of tipping (look back at the video) 20 empty is astonishing.. I scanned bit To early and had a lot of good condition ewes with singles and more triplets than I want. You're giving great coverage in your video. I recommend you to all my mates. Keep it up. Hope you're dad's on commission. He'll have an Oscar yet!
Cracking video. Scanning is a good idea as it gets you prepared but surprises can sometimes happen that are out of your control. That’s sheep farming unpredictable sometimes
Awesome video Glyn it's always a joy to watch your videos always entertaining and interesting That was some terrible weather makes handling working sheep so much harder Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one
Hey Glyn don't loose sight of the fact that your farming hill land ..and it was a wet bad backend for tipping which can pull down scanning % .also heard some poor results for March lambers here in Co Derry . Anyway what important is what you sell not what you scan ,as high % can mean weak lambs and ewes in poor condition .Dam that's shiny looking handling set up in the street.Great stuff , enjoy the match tonight.
Hi Glyn, it was crazy to see how fast the water was flowing with all of the rain that you had. It seems like you always have rainy days when working with your sheep. Glad that you had some help as working with the sheep is always stressful and tiring.
your father remembered a time when sheep or cattle had no ear tags. its all red tape now. farmers are told what to do in there own farm now. long ago your dad and grand dad could do what they liked in there own farm. in some countries they no red tape in farms. its a joke here.
At 7:30 I loved your half a$$ attempt at those jumping jacks when you were trying to push up the sheep!! 😂😂 Looks like you put a ton of effort into it!! 😂😂 im just joking around! Lpl thanks for sharing hun and hope the you and the fam has a great weekend!! 😊
As always I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary video channel and welcome back and the filming edition captured footage looks spectacularly gorgeous and you are doing an excellent great job .. wishing you all over there with more blessing and good health .. have a wonderful blessed weekend .. TQ and best regards from Montreal QC Canada
Another cracking video Glyn,you didn't bring back any good weather from the holidays!!the scanning is a good job alright.What will you do with the sheep that are empty??
Hi Glyn your Dad is gas 😂 hope you catch a few rats and how is buddy. Hope you enjoyed your holiday Glyn it wassunny day there its rare To see the sun here in Ireland 🇮🇪 keep up the great work and video
The reason I scan is not to over feed the mothers of singles. If you have no knowledge of what the ewe is having and feed everything coming to the end of lambing the lamb inside the ewe gets too big and can't be born easy. There is a high risk of losing the lamb, and maybe the ewe as well
no .....................scanning ewes always pays for its self .....................................you are lambing in the dark otherwise ................
Great video glyn yer some craic. RUclips had unsubribed me from your channel and other channels for some reason. Could be worth tellin your viewers to make sur they not un subbed 👍
I am lowland flock and my scanning use to be low. And I bought a 5 star maternal belclare ram and breed of him. With keeping his replacements. It made massive difference. Wee scanned at 200% the year. But one cross with a belclare is enough or you getting into pile of triplets
Your Dad does a good job with the camera, doesn't swing it around and make viewers feel sea sick. Just curious why you don't wear rain slickers and pants, keep you dry and warm ( sometimes too warm but better than soaking wet)?
@@sheepshepherd Yes that's a definite drawback. Gore tex is is what I use, pretty good for breathability, but mine are decades old, no doubt there's better options now. The pup you're growing out is looking good.
Just a thought with the gum and new house would you be using sheepa wool as insulation seen it done as a mad eco friendly thing but just wondering because yous have it to hand although I imagine its prob not economic viable for even yous as it would be dearer to get the fleece washed just wondering though have you looked into it
We did our low sheep a few weeks ago and they were well back on usual did 1.55 and we did the hill ewes yesterday and they were also poor they only did 1.1 which was the worst scan we have ever seen and we’ve been doing it for 40 years strangely enough there was not even as many dry as usual but almost all had only one in them , we only had 27 dry out of 654 in the hill ewes and only 21 dry out of 532 in our low ewes normally we would have about 60 or so dry in total but we would usually have about 1.75 in the low ones and 1.25 or better in the hill ewes . We are putting it down to the bad back end and that we have a good few extra hoggets this year as we culled hard because they were worth something. On the bright side we also got our silage tested and we don’t need to feed meals to the singles so that will save a good few quid.
@@sheepshepherd I am consoling the lads with what my old grandfather used to say “ I’d rather have a good single lamb gone in august without any grub except what he and his mother found themselves than a pair of lambs that you are still feeding in January and have to give one of them to the meal man.” His other favourite phrase was “ a sheep’s worst enemy is another bloody sheep “ . The whole secret now is that we have to keep as many as humanly possible alive and thriving. Best of luck with the lambing down there in Kerry , you boys have great green hills compared to what we have up here.
I'm so very confused. I keep hearing that copper for sheep is deadly, but here you are dosing yours for lack of copper, and it's not. I'm a know-nothing, so any enlightenment is appreciated.

I think scanning was a game changer feeding all ewes for twins led to lambing issues for the singles
Ya very true
The reason I scan is not to over feed the mothers of singles. If you have no knowledge of what the ewe is having and feed everything coming to the end of lambing the lamb inside the ewe gets too big and can't be born easy. There is a high risk of losing the lamb, and maybe the ewe as well
yes very vey true. its a great job to know
Scanning time can be either good or bad.
Exactly
Where are the heifers gone
Outside on grass. Not housed
Well I’ve watched this vlog but I’m not sure I understood any of it!!!
😆😅
Any update on the cattle
Still outside on rough ground, and they'll be staying there untill we need to bring them in.
You're dad is right to some degree about scanning
Hahs everyman for their own opinion
no .....................scanning ewes always pays for its self .....................................you are lambing in the dark otherwise ................
I said at tupping the weather was so bad for so long I'd be suprised if they scanned well
Thanks a lot, Appreciate the comment and glad you like the video.

There out on rougher ground outside still

Can you do an update on the cows ya we scanned our sheep out of 300 200 had lambs terrible result it was because of all the fuc*&&&× rain😢💧🌧⚡️🌧

Is scanning expensive? Is old sheep meat very cheap? I dont see mutton for sale much

When you started out with your first sheep Glynn used you spend much on your ewes and rams or did you go with cheap as possible to start off with?
We have had sheep here with hundreds of years, so i cant say comment on that. But you wouldn't go cheap, there cheap for a reason
