Ivar face is changing... he is loosing his toddler face! and he still speaks a lot, but this time, it's understandable to "us"!!!
Your images are becoming sooooo beautiful! and your artistic skills is "blooming"!!! it's like refining your visual sensitivity! It's MAGIC!!!! Thank you so much.✨✨💖👌💖✨✨
I feel sorry for you that you've only just been able to understand young Ivar's speech. I have comprehended it for ages as most on here have I believe. Not sure what is your problem but would have liked you to keep it to yourself. It is not shared with any positive lean on it. The lack of understanding is your problem not theirs. Please be mindful of what you share and why you share it. This family works incredibly hard and sincerely to being to us a slice of their very hard life. Yes they've chosen this lifestyle, but that doesn't make it any less arduous and even more so to convert their native tongue into a language most can understand. That Ivar is only 2 and speaks so clearly and with understanding of the concept he's portraying is very advanced for his age. So please , think before you write in future and that goes for all channels you interact on, thankyou.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I dont think it was meant to be a negative comment in any way - there are a lot of people out there having difficulties in understanding toddlers, and others understand them quite well! I am working with young children and can understand them all, but there are other teachers that dont.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 What on earth.... how did you take their comment so negatively 🤣
More! More! More!...I just can't get enough! Who is with me?! I feel guilty because I know how hard you both work on everything. Thank you, I have so much respect and gratitude for all you do.
Love your family and videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome episode.
Omg! Lots of snow! ❄️
You need to build a run for them to go through with a gate at the end where you can send them different ways when they come through.
I really enjoy your videos. Your country is beautiful
Interesting Introducing the Rams 🐏 to the Girls to breed that’s a lot of work but looks totally rewarding amazing team work
Nice video!
I have found in life that when I "wonder" about things, the answers always have a way of showing up when I least expect it. Hoping the answer to your question comes swiftly and brings a better solution for your herding situation... it must be exhausting carrying all those sheep. Grass fed beef and dairy is the best. 🫶
Beautifull Family...
Although your English is excellent and fluent, I suppose it might be hard to remember all the different phrases. The phrase you were looking for was "when nature........works its magic". That is what most people would say.😀
I really enjoy watching your wonderful video you have a adorable little one and a lovely wife stay warm outthere may I ask where you live at i am from America Rosa olbera
Do 3 rams not fight with each other?
You both have given young Ivar such a beautiful and loving start to his life. He begins his journey of years with PRICELESS memories...and he will remember much more than you realise. Sending many, many blessings and prayers for you all . Thank you for sharing such blessed moments with us all.
It is always so wonderful to take a trip through and over the tree tops and down to the homestead, as though riding on a magic carpet. And, so beautiful with Old Winter's coat on the ground and you all carrying on with your chores. Ivar is learning well how to tend to the flock! He'll be a huge help in few years! We are learning as well how to keep a small farm. It is so good to see your videos each time you post! Thank you!
Utan tvekan några av de bästa videodrönarfilmerna och redigeringen på webben! Fortsätt med det underbara arbetet! Hoppas våren är snäll mot dig och din familj!! Om du får chansen igen, vänligen infoga några drönarbilder från en klar natt med fullmåne och snötäckt skog. Det är så magiskt att gå här i skogen när fullmånen är ute och snö täcker allt!!
Completely agree...just marvelous drone footage.
Fascinating. An incredible amount of dedication to raise animals responsibly.
Yes I was thinking this same thing indeed so respectfully and responsible ❤
Such a healthy way to live growing your own food source is a luxury these days. Thank you for the lovely peek into your amazing lives.
I sometimes find myself holding my breath as I watch your fly over the meadows, streams and forests enveloped in snow. And then I think to myself of the times I had with my parents on our farm and the hard work it involved but we were HAPPY then. We also raised sheep( Suffolk ) . We didn't feel like were were missing out on anything because it just wasn't there to obsess about. All the technological advances we have made and yet more and more people are so unhappy, unfullfilled and lost and lonely. It is my dream to one day go back to living a more simpler life without so much techno garbage and to go back to connecting with nature and living a mindful and meaningful life. You guys make me think that me and my bf can one day do that so don't ever stop your videos. Keep up with your dreams and even though there are setbacks just keep moving forward. You are so inspiring to so many people :)
Don't dream about "one day". See how you can put into reality today. You don't need to move to off grid log cabin to live this way. You can move away from techno right now by moving away from smartphone into the old type phone for example. Reclaiming lost skills like map reading, growing your own food, building fires, learning to forage, mending clothes.
I feel the same when I watch the drone and see the gorgeous scenery...makes my heart soar and takes my breath. He's truly talented in putting these videos together
The breeding aprons can help but not foolproof. We had our bucks in with does and only one doe was impregnated while aprons used. Must be measured accurately and secured enough they can get off.
May you get a little nest egg to start, and soon begin.
Yep too much technology creates more hunger for connection with the natural world and with other humans, thus technology is leaving people more and more empty in their soul, until they discover that we can't really thrive without nature and nurture.
Your impressions of winter in the forest are amazing. It seems to be like paradise. Your videos become better and better!! 👌
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 love your videos always interesting great job 👏 the most authentic content on RUclips I ever seen ❤️
Thank you for another great vlog! Really enjoyed this little glimpse into your everyday life dealing with the sheep and completely agree, home-raised meat is so much tastier!
We made a central pen with gates to all the pens and a Very High and strong fence on the central pen and because the central pen touched all the others, it was easier to sort the herd without them wanting to follow, the separated ones, the hard part is sorting, but a carrot or treat helps a lot!!! We also have goats and they ALL have collars... a big help we also try to walk them too which makes them easier to catch, having constant contact. your Red bowls seem to also help a lot...
Thank you!
Simple Living Is So Satisfy. To Be Simple In Life Is Not Lazy Acts But A Wise Decision. Enjoy Simple Life Tova, Matias And Ivar.😊 skål🍻
Such a joyful time! when you are able to post a video of your life activities in the lovely place you call home. Thanx for sharing, and caring so lovingly for yourselves and your critters.
Your drone footage is done with such skill. Amazing! I truly feel as if I am flying. Beautiful work in sharing your journey of life. Continued blessings to your family.
✨⭐️💛🙏💛⭐️✨
Thank you for your new beautiful video ❤️
I think the phrase you might have been looking for is, “then nature will take its course.”
That was exhausting for you, well done. It was so funny when you were saying how good the lamb is to eat and the lamb behind stopped eating and looked straight at you 🤣 you all make me smile from beginning to end , especially the little lad 😄
We watch all the time ! The excitement knowing you put a beautiful and educational video out. Thanks you! You two work so hard to keep your family safe and fed. God Bless❤️
So peaceful and quiet.
This is such a charming video. Thank you!
We used to have three rams. Two would fight and one could get on with the job! They are lovely looking sheep.
Haha hmm 🤔 Should we have four rams?
@@Talasbuan I'm just thinking that with goats the bucks fight untill they know Who is the King and sometimes the others can't mate anymore because they've Lost the alfa fight. Hope it's not gonna be that way. Interesting To see what Will happen!
As usual outstanding cinematography best regards from Liverpool England.
Matthias, speaking of eating meat. In a previous video you mentioned your health problems due to a strict vegan diet in the past. Have you discussed this more somewhere in your videos? If so, can you provide a link to it, please? (Or is it too controversial to discuss?)
Sorry, I have not managed to adress this topic fully. I should do that, but it is time consuming work to get the thoughts out on paper. Lately i have been thinking i should just try to wing it... But I would really like to produce a good episode adressing this topic more deeply.
@Talasbuan I would love to hear more about this as well. I have recently started an "elimination" style diet to address some health issues. Currently eating meat only and have experienced some noticeable improvements. It's so interesting...
@@Talasbuan I Would really appreciate your perspective. I have a family member who does not believe she needs essential animal products (even when ethically sourced or even just a vegetarian leaning diet) to maintain good health. I'm afraid that she's slowly harming herself.
@@annetjievz sorry for a very late answer here, I completely missed your reply.
Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers (book and documentary) is a very nice start for anyone to get introduced to the necessity of eating meat for health.
Another video I really like that adress this topic is this one: ruclips.net/video/VYTjwPcNEcw/видео.html
@@Talasbuan Thank you so much. I will definitely have a look.
Here in the UK, there are always trained sheepdogs for sale for all different reasons...for example, an older dog that may now benefit from less work than with a pro shepherd or larger scale sheep farmer and be ideal for the smaller amount of work you'd need one for. Maybe something to look into if you don't want to train one up yourself or not sure how? Taking one of mine sheep training tomorrow....we just love it as a pastime. I don't get to do it often because there's nowhere close enough to me and it's always going to be a bit of a drive just to train.
I think this channel is wonderful.
I think you’re both living your best life!
Love that there’s no electronic distractions for the little one.
So well done..
amazing
I totally agree with the difference in farm raised meat !! I was born and raised on dairy sheep pigs and all our meat was home grown & butchered. How I yearn for such beautiful meat again instead of this store bought stuff !!!
I thank God I at least had the good clean pure farm meat as a child and up to my early 20s !!!! Now nearly 70 I miss that yummy meat.
Moving the sheep instead of carrying them, Try making a pen with your wire fencing and some wooden batons /posts , just enough for 2 sheep to walk side by side . Have one person at front with a post in each hand and one doing the same at the rear. If you keep them fairly tightly together they should all move in unison and not be able to get much speed up. If you have a food dish up front they can see and will follow if necessary. I'd try without food. Have a couple of batons along each side to stop them pressing on the wire and escaping. This method should work while walking on that path you had cleared and packed down. It's much like using sheep dogs but a fence enclosure instead. It's a good way to train them to move around your paddocks. You don't want big heavy posts at front and back as you must carry the posts in your outstretched arms. I hope this will make moving the young ewes at least easier than having to carry every one !!!!!!. Much love and blessings from Ipswich Queensland Australia from my heart to yours. 🤗💞🙏✌️👍👋👏
A temporary solution might be for you to make a small wooden cage, or get a cheap folding dog cage, that will fit in the back of your wagon. So, instead of carrying them in your arms you can at least utilize your wagon and carry them that way. Then just pop the cage out of the wagon and store it away somewhere for next time. Just a low tech idea! Cheers from Maine!
Yes, I was thinking we should utilise the wagon in some way..
@@Talasbuan could be a cheap and easy way to get by until you find a more permanent solution, at least!
@@Talasbuan Even one sheep at a time in The hay wagon would help I would think. A cage trailer towed by your car perhaps if it can manage the snow without a road. Do you have a tractor? I can't recall. I do watch a lot of farming channels as that's how I was raised and worked on farms. Sheep were always yhe dumbest animals. They'd always be as far away from the gate as possible. To hay feed in the snow was very tiring carrying bales of hay thru knee deep snow that the tractor couldn't pass thru.
A note here, back in my parents early days of farming and starting a family of 7 , they only had an old model T and the pig was transported in wherevthe back seat was removed. That was in 1955 you're dpungvthe same sort of thing ...some things don't change much LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking maybe you could get large dog Collars And use a color code method for your Sheep That are too young to Mix with the males, Get a Heavy duty Dual or triple dog leash move them that way.🤔
"Jag gillar era videos mycket. Ert land och er vardag inom jordbruk och fåruppfödning intresserar mig mycket. Jag förstår att det är ett svårt liv till viss del, men era videos förmedlar intrycket att ni förstår naturens cykler och integrerar er med dess visdom på ett avundsvärt sätt som bara jordbrukare kan. En stor kram från Brasilien
Also the Lime wash is white and will brighten up the cellar. Lime plaster is also fire proof. Back in the old days everyone would lime plaster the inside of their homes so they will not burn down. Maybe you could put some iron candle holders high up on the walls of the cellar for light
Beautiful video. Thanks x
You and your family 👪 are an inspiration.
Loved learning the names of some of your sheep ( Hello Greta and Doris), and thanks to Ivar, I now know how to say Pee in Swedish. Lovely vlog as always
Hello, prepared or not the videos are always lovely to watch and so peaceful, thank you. I smile watching Ivar join 🤗
maybe a long stick/pole and also possibly using the fencing you have to create hallways/walk ways to other areas with open and close doors.
Thank you, dear friends for this beautiful video. It was interesting to learn more about the complexity of the managing the flock. I hope you will have a large and very populated flock this upcoming spring and summer! 🙏💙
Your videography is so stunning. And your little boy is so beautiful. I respect you so much. It’s hard work you do! But how amazing to live your dream.
i'm a farmer i raised sheeps for years. To seperate your flock what you need is a triage corridor. Easy to build, will make your life way easier and it will save your back. Sheep dog we use to moove the flock frome a pasture to another one, not to seperate sheeps.
i wish you the best. Good luck! and thank you for your videos they bring me moments of joy.
I was thinking the very same.
Thanks for another gorgeous video!
Hello at last u have a new vedio, tnx 😍
We always want something other than what we have.. grass is greener in someone else’s pasture.. you have given me so much joy in your videos. You truly live in the most beautiful,breath taking off grid place. I hope you don’t have the “grass is greener” feeling. You are living it!! We hope to make a out of city move in the next 5 years in our retirement. . But even if we don’t. . Gratitude is essential ❤ happy almost march! Cant wait to see what spring brings you❤🌱
🙋♀️❤❤❤🇩🇪
It was so funny when the whole family has to run and the camera too🐑🐑🐑🧔👩🧒📷 😁😁👍
Great video the way you live is so interesting 👍
Lol 😂…….welcome to the channel where we have no idea what we are doing 😂😂 You guys are the best.❤
Your photography is breathtaking! The Winter scenery is spectacular! God, the Creator, does amazing things. Thx for sharing your world with us. Susan
Ivae is the most happy child in the world.
But the swedish regime will soon force him to school, where they will try brainwash and break him down.. :(

Mathias, the learning never stops, bless you all, hugs to Ivar❤
I always love your videos always looking forward for the next upload
Beautiful!
And thank you for writing thé sweet words of your clever and observative sweet boy !!!
Yep! You definitely need to find a better way to move the sheep without carrying them! That'll make you old in a hurry! But I understand. You do whatever needs to be done. Sorry I can't offer any suggestions...
I really learn a lot about separating the rams from the ewes. Good luck with the breeding program!
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here blessings to you and your family I have been looking forward to seeing your post and I am not disappointed at all thanks 🙏 for keeping your promise to let us see and share your life and it let’s me personally know that I am bless and so are you and your family be safe and warm your son sure is growing and is very vocal love it because I am a grandma
hej, the experience little Ivar will make at your homestead will prepare him for a better human being. i lived almost the same way when i was a young child, no running water, an out house and animals to get meat from and a huge garden to grow vegetables and fruit trees. Today iám thankful to have this experience i made as a kid and i give it (the more modern way) to my son. Thank you for sharing your live and growing process. i know your live is not everyday easy and it is hard work and an everyday challenge. stay healthy and keep going.
You guys are darling!!!!
These videos are all so appreciated by we who can only glimpse from afar your beautiful life. Ivan can wade through deep snow now! What a treat to have seen him grow up. Such a sweet little guy.
What an enjoyable episode, from start to finish! We watched with smiles on our faces and then laughter as Ivar's ram was introduced to his new home. Thank you!
So much snow, and your son is in his element! Just enjoys it and is very happy there! You all give me such a sense of peace! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!
Yes, in English we use the word "pregnant" for animals as well. And maybe the phrase you were looking for was, "Let nature take its course," or something similar. This was fun to watch! Right now I'm cleaning and spinning the wool from one of my brother's Cheviot sheep from his farm.
Your life is drastically different than mine, however I enjoy my environment as well. Yours is simpler and calm.
I am sure I will watch this at least three times please 🙏 know how much we all appreciate your beautiful videos with all of Us …..Thank You
Have a look for some New Zealand style sheep yards, or portable sheep yards. You can find some inspiration to build your own versions. You can do it in such a way that it is not so large and mostly focused on the gully separation gates, and just extend the individual yards in whatever way you like with your portable fencing. Can easily be built in a day or two with a couple of people. And self milled timber or tree rounds if you desire.
Oe, possibly a great idea 😊What if the sheep cannot see and hear each other? How is their sense of smell? Could you cover their eyes and ears or place a screen between them to get them to head away from the flock?
Sorting pens and chutes! Very helpful for many tasks.
Thank you so much for your hard work and efforts producing videos for us around the world. This was so beautiful and extra special. Best wishes and much love to You and Your Family.
Awesome winter wonderland your place🤩🤩🤩
The snow capped trees are beautiful. Winter months are cold in your part of the World,but I miss visiting Finland where my husband is from,especially in winter. I grew up in a village and we had sheep. My father taught us how to care for them. He built a side by side trough? To separate them.. I don't know if this is helpful but that's what I remember..lol..your child is getting big ,Very cute to hear him speak Swedish..stay warm🥰😍💕
LOVEEEEE the new time lapse feature! The time lapse paired with the music is perfection.
The sheep don't all get the oat treats. 😰
You made that look easy and I’m sure it wasn’t.
As always, I enjoy watching your videos. Always look forward to seeing them. Such a joy!
Little Ivar is a blessed young man to have parents like you. Happy that you're sharing a little part of your life with us.
So humorous. I love sheep lifting. Not too many people do it these days LOL
happy kid, happy dog, happy sheep, happy life
You guys are learning about lot of things and doing a wonderful job! It is not easy life for sure. I do admire your beautiful family. Thank you
Just wonderful!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
"Nature will take it's courses"
So beautiful though it looks so cold
Love your videos
Ενθουσιασμένη για μία ακόμη φορά με το νέο σας βίντεο !Είναι τα τοπία ,είναι ο τρόπος ζωής σας ,είναι το ότι μεταδίδεται και στο παιδάκι σας την ζωή στην φύση με σεβασμό !Για όλα αυτά και την καλή επεξεργασία του βίντεο με πανέμορφα στιγμιότυπα από Drone σας ευχαριστώ που τα μοιράζεστε μαζί μας !Να είστε πάντα καλά 🤗😍
wow , drone shots look like scene from some fantasy or dream.
Its amazing brother
Enlightening to say the least. Ivar was especially cute and Mathias was amazing lifting those ladies over a fence and across the pasture. 💪🏼
Thank you for the video! I have a fiew suĝestions about moving the sheep. 1. You Can lur them with some grains. 2. You can put them In a leach one by one and bring To the other pen. 3. You can bring the whole flock To the New Pen and separate then there, then lur the older sheep back To the old Pen. 4. You can take one of the young ewes on a leach and try if the others Will follow
That was amazing 😍😍😍😍😍
Great job!!!!👏👏👏👏
I love this channel so much thank you from ohio
I have been slowly (very lazily) watching the earlier videos. The first two lambs were borne, and Ivar was probably not even a twinkle in the eye, yet. There were some yellow (dyed) eggs for Easter, but I don't know what ever happened to the bone broth on the outdoor stove. 😁 I was afraid that someone would fall while working on the new house! 😳
