True, You try you best to nurse the Ewe back to health and try your best lambing in unpredictable 💯 Lamb Stuffed Animals so cute 🐑 She's such a clam little baby lamby...!!! Adorable babies
Your "Old Farmer Tales" are fun to hear, keep telling them as the opportunity arises. Your comment about the lamb that looked like a child's toy was spot on. Such a little sweetie!
It has to be so hard as you said. When there are deaths during lambing. I still remember the hard lesson of Nature when I was a kid. You learn to “deal” with it but it never gets easy. Thank you for the video and the knowledge you both impart.
Good evening Arnie and Lynn. Goodness lamb laundry. What a stack. I saw the duplication and it didn’t bother me at all. Just some extra video time. 🤗🤗. And who can possibly not love the lamb races. Such joy in those little bodies. Love it pure beauty. Lots of items to look for when making your rounds. That is quite interesting about milk production and looking for tell tale signs. Oh how sad. Poor mama to go that long and then lose her baby. But maybe her being ill didn’t help her pregnancy. I can see Arnie’s point of view. The problems can be heartbreaking but at least on the other hand there is joy. Aww number 15 is the picture of adorable. You just want to cuddle her. Boy Gladiator and Knockout have done themselves proud. That ram lamb is just so handsome and already friendly. Ya know those old ewes are do an outstanding job this year. That was some interesting facts about the skin of the lambs and ewes. Hi Buddy. And of course Alexander the acrobat. That mama laying down looks pooped. Oh my gosh a rebel already. The dickens. You have had a very busy day. Hope you get your feet up. Big big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉😉❤️❤️😊
When there is birth there is so many things that could go wrong, it's just the nature of things for sure! It's something you have no control over! So you are 100% right!
Aw, sorry about the lamb from Miss Wander-after all the work you guys did to heal her. But as you said, nature has its own way. 🐑The wee lambs racing are precious! Sometimes I rewind to watch them again. 💛 Goodness, to have a little rebel in the trough so early! 😄 I hear you Arnie about lambing not being your favourite time. I grew up on a cattle farm and calving in early spring was always super stressful. We hoped every animal would have a great start, but there were always a handful that just didn’t. 😕
You guys do such an amazing job!!! You are easily doing the work of 4 or 5 people!! Thanks for sharing your days with us!! Take care and rest when you can!! Stay safe!!❤❤❤❤
Great video! About the ewe that had the dead lamb, I wonder if when she had the respiratory distress was when her fetus died and that was the cause of her distress. The lamb/lambs are what initiate labor and, if the lambs are dead sometimes the ewe doesn't go into labor normally. Just a thought. Glad the ewe is doing ok.
Well, that's a big shame about the wandering ewe that lost her lamb. But it's not surprising. You did what you could, but Mother Nature overruled. It happens. And of course, now you have bottle lambs. I should have kept my big mouth shut. Sorry!
Poor big Bertha (that's what I've been calling your wandering girl) You guys do a great job! Some things just can't be helped and it's like Arnie said nature takes course. Could you do a "bottle baby" boot camp? What you feed how much how many times a day? I have a girl I'm having to top off her twins. She's a first timer. This will be my first real time of doing this. We had a bottle baby we adopted (the one you helped me with in the spring we thought was blind) but she was on straight goat milk which is great but not feasible for more than one lamb.
Luckily we don't have many bottle babies this year, knock on wood, but I will discuss feeding Elsie's lamb in an upcoming video. In the meantime, you can watch our bottle feeding last year. I have tons of videos on it if you start January 2023 🙂
Thank you just found you. Just love you guys. But have a question, did you make your big sunflower on the barn I love it. If you did can you share how you did it. Be safe from Indiana ❤
Beautiful - lambing and marathon racing time. Farmers go a long way to serve a meal to the rest of the population, much appreciated. How much ml of colustrum do they get in their first feed after lambing?
Ernie should of helped you do laundry, thats what my wife would of said, after watching 3 hrs. Of soap operas. You get to watch what you want when you get home anyway
I had a mule ewe with cow teats so I milked her out 6 times a day and the silly bugger had 3 lambs at the time and in the end she went away with one as her lambs were massive and she couldn't feed two of them so we kept her again and the next year she had two lambs and no bother at all then the next year afterwards she had 4 and no bother at all
Enjoying your videos. Thank you for all the extra work involved. My dad and I have 9 ewes and we are enjoying the lambing season right now, too. I like how you work together!
Any/every lamb or ewe lost or damaged during the beginning stages of lambing is quite simply and bluntly money floating out the barn door. A little further introspection makes you realise that long term breeding lines are impacted and potential from highly breed blood lines are not fully utilised. And Arnue is right lambing is stressful. It seems more so at the coal face because you are fully focused on the ewes ad lambs with issues. Trying your best. Hoping for the best. But because that job is where you a lot of times the numbers seem higher than they really are. So count all the success stories daily. This year in simply brilliant. Shout it from the roof tops and take a bow. You both have worked many years to get to this stage.
Thanks Susan! Believe me, we are very happy so far with how everything is going but don't want to jinx it! So far our mortality rate is extremely low as are bottle babies!😁😁
Wonderful , insightful videos. Wish I could have worked for you before starting our own flock! We just had 3 lambs before Christmas and they all have Orf. We only have 5 sheep, nothing new brought into the barn. Where on earth did it come from? Mums udders are looking pretty rough.
Lamb races! my all time favorites! Thank you for sharing. ❤️🤗❤️🤭
I really wish I had the energy of those lambs running back and forth all day!
Ditto!😄
True, You try you best to nurse the Ewe back to health and try your best lambing in unpredictable 💯 Lamb Stuffed Animals so cute 🐑 She's such a clam little baby lamby...!!! Adorable babies
Yes, that lamb is just perfect!😁
Good morning I had three girls born yesterday ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
i think thats the first time Ive seen Arnie snuggling a baby lamb......so he does have a soft heart.😘
Your "Old Farmer Tales" are fun to hear, keep telling them as the opportunity arises. Your comment about the lamb that looked like a child's toy was spot on. Such a little sweetie!
Will do that! I am sure Arnie, in particular, has lots of them 🙂
The lamb that looked like a toy looked like the puppet Lamb Chop by Shari Lewis.
Thanks for another great video. Lambs are looking so cute.
Lyn it just shows you are human thank you for another great video
Thanks ❤️
Enjoying all the lambs and the explanation of your daily chores.
It has to be so hard as you said. When there are deaths during lambing. I still remember the hard lesson of Nature when I was a kid. You learn to “deal” with it but it never gets easy.

Thank you. The days are getting busier but there are so many wonderful lambs this year, we can't complain. Hugs!
The Dorset stuffed toy is adoable…love all the wooly Dorset ears.
Yes, the Dorsets win it for the cute factor!😁

Thanks. But you always feel that there could have been more you could have done!

Yes, watching others lambing is fun but doing it yourself is very stressful 🙂
The lambs look great. Sad about the ewe that lost her lamb. Was she a first timer
No, she is an older ewe. No problems in the past
lamb races are the best! don’t worry about duplicate clips. i didn’t even notice! lol
Will the ewe that lost her lamb go into the pen with Big Betty and the replacement ewes to dry off? Or will that not be issue for her?
Yes, she will be going in with Big Betty and the keeper lambs 🙂
Awe poor big mama 😢
You guys do such an amazing job!!! You are easily doing the work of 4 or 5 people!! Thanks for sharing your days with us!! Take care and rest when you can!! Stay safe!!❤❤❤❤

You working so hard thank you for including us love watching

Could easily be that. The lamb was not rotten but it had been dead awhile

Only one bottle baby so far. That is pretty good!🙂

Arnie has made a bunch of yard art.
Yes, Arnie made it for my birthday 😊
Oh, also, I forgot to welcome you to our channel! Welcome 🥰
Beautiful - lambing and marathon racing time. Farmers go a long way to serve a meal to the rest of the population, much appreciated. How much ml of colustrum do they get in their first feed after lambing?
Ours get 150 ml each

The good news is that all the sheep that get off are immune to getting it again. One of your ewes had to have had it for it to spread.
