    Keep in mind many of us in your audience, are not farmers but we’re here to learn more about our food. I remember your A flock is pedigree Lleyns, and your B flock mums are for producing lamb for the food chain. It would be helpful to show your different tups side by side, and then compare their lambs side by side and explain how you can distinguish their sires based on the differences us non farmers aren’t yet cued in to notice. Still, I’m tickled your ewes and lambs are doing so well, after the floods and continual wet.

      Great comment
      I watch Cammy from Ayrshire - The Sheep Game
      I watch Sandi Brock in 🇨🇦
      We must support our farmers
      NO FARMERS NO FOOD
      I think the school curriculum should be changed
      Teach the kids about life. How to create bank account. How to budget. Explain mortgages etc
      AND
      Teach them that food does not come from MCDONALDS
      They need to learn life and reality

    Great lambs l think it's fair 2 sa there s room for a Suffolk ram in every flock no matter what you breed preferences u will find your Suffolk cross will b first in your wallet so enjoy them they won't b around for long great video

    Interesting and informative. I have to use subtitles but are still having trouble of clints and cleans?? Maybe you could run the final video and see what we get with the accent and transitions.

    Interesting to see your comparison. The drone shots showed how bad your fields were wet and some fields still under water.

    Good vlog one thing I want to ask are they all twins are a mix of twins an singles because a single will have a lot more milk to go at than a set of twins

    • @CowleyHillFarm
      @CowleyHillFarm  5 месяцев назад +1

      They’re a mix of the two. Would be interesting to pull them out and compare just the twins

    • @rogerbarnfield5913
      @rogerbarnfield5913 5 месяцев назад

      I think it would aswell and another vlog for you aswell just to compare the weights between both lots of lambs

  • @raymondwarrington9950
    @raymondwarrington9950 5 месяцев назад

    Hi Will, did you weigh the lambs individually at birth or just use an average weight?

    • @CowleyHillFarm
      @CowleyHillFarm  5 месяцев назад

      I weighed a few and took averages for singles/twin etc

    You have to admit that that the Aberblack Lambs are Suffolk Lambs are far better than your Clun Lambs Will. Kiwi Shayne in the UK 👌

      @CowleyHillFarm  20 дней назад

      As a fat lamb, yes they kill out slightly better. But as a dual purpose I'd pick the lleyn any day

      Just my opinion but I wouldn’t touch mules with a barge pole. Way better to breed your own replacements than buying ewes in every year
