Glyn, all right minded people will be wishing you all the best, you are an absolute bloody hero, what a crap Spring this has been. Better things soon surely.
I told Glynn that we always had a hairdryer in the shed to dry perished lambs , it is brilliant especially one with a turbo boost button .ah farmers what ever it takes wee will do .
I'm in cavan and put 5 kgs couples out thur morning as had no room left had to 2 back in grey crows attached one and the died in a couple hrs after. I never seen the like .not a word about the hardship and stress that sheep farmers and animals are going through not a word in the media just goes to prove in interest they have in country unless your inside the ring of the m50
@@kierancooney5663 aye whole handling , the weather is awful , I'm sure tomorrow morning will tell a bad tale , and your right no one cares , truth is people have enjoyed cheap food at the expense of farmers for too long .keep the chin up and hopefully things will improve .Good luck
Never saw the spring as bad if the weather doesnt improve soon i dont know what we will do,keep the chin up lads ye are tough out it surely cant rain forever
Farming performance around the country is setback with saturated soils. Price of food will go up. You three deserve medals for commitment to saving sheep in that weather. There appears to be extra rainfall coming down faster.
There is a war on farmers in Westwern countries, just as Covid was such an assault, driven by those that give our "leaders" their instructions. Wouldn't surprise us if this excessive rain had an artificial derivation. The technology exists. We are forced to wonder how those in power, who are so comfortable with evil, are so certain there will be no retribution.
I would add a U shape of 20 conifer trees or something in one of those fields and keep them topped a few meters tall to form a wind break for the future , a tarp across the top might just survive the wind ??
I farm near Dawson Creek BC Canada, we’ve been in drought for three years going on 4 now. I’m lambing now and worried there won’t be any grass this spring or hay for the winter. It is really something to see the amount of rain you guys are getting there. Best of luck to you guys with your farming.
Welcome back and as always your Dad is a big Star in the video and you guys bonded so well and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary video channel, keep it up and stay safe .. million thanks again and have a wonderful blessing weekend from Montreal QC Canada
Sending up my prayers for all the farmers and the animals. Hold steady and do your best. Be safe and know we are watching & praying for you all & for this bad weather to end real soon.❤🙏
Aw Lads tough tough times on ye!! And you’re still laughing .. Glynn , you must of had a fantastic childhood listening to your dad’s stories . .. really feel for ye though the government should be helping farmers out more .
The worst weather for lambing I imagine for all farmers everywhere. They must be devastated. There is a cost for removing each dead lamb/sheep which the public don't probably know about. Geoengineering at its worst.
That is really tough going Glyn theirs no f***ing end to this rain as I'm writing this it's the start of the storm and its pissing down here You're father is right when the going gets tough the tough get going Hoping you get trough this storm and it dosent do too much damage wish you the best with lambing a few rough day's ahead Looking forward to the next video
Better days are coming. Keep your chin up. I see all the hard work you and your team are doing. I am glad to see your work on the lambing sheds is paying off. Best wishes from BC Canada
Thats tough going Glynn weather is terrible here also,its bad when you see sheep poaching the fields but what can we do but keep going and hope for better weather.
Ah lads tis the worst winter in years strongly considering not lambing ewes next year after this.. pure hardship.. hope the storm doesn't come as bad as forecast.. Great videos..
Great effort to get these videos out guys with all the work going on bad weather can really add to the stress of the lambing time. Great that you show the good and bad side of farming very honest videos
Aww my heart❤ goes out to you Guys and I'll keep everything crossed 🤞👀🦵💪🦶 the weather gets better soon for you 🤗 Loving the hairdryer trick 👍 Wish you all a dry weekend ❤
Get those lambs some lammacs they keep them dry and prevent the wind chill. I used to use to them to good effect, they also seem to deter the foxes. You really are top notch when it comes to hygiene and good practice. It’s the attention to detail that makes the difference.I have never before heard of an Irishman who was too weak to drink. There’s a first time for everything! So glad you save the lamb on the bank. It’s ironic that Ireland gets to choose the name of this storm.
Glynn Thank God for the weather it’s something to talk about, do you find the hay bell good for feeding the sheep ; if we got as much dry weather as the wet weather we got in the last 12 months things would be a lot worse, keep the head up 👍
Sheep farmers in Ireland are all gamblers. They never have enough shelter for lambs when the weather is bad. They always blame the weather and not their own greed.
This is normal weather good Ireland and the UK during the winter months right past April. There is nothing unusual in this video. Except these boys seem to be making a drama out of everything.
Lots of challenges for raising sheep, as you know. Stay positive and know you are doing your best. No one else could do it, weather will pass and you will be enjoying the beautiful weather and all that your beautiful farmland has to offer. Stay safe and count your blessings. I am sure so many viewers wish they could help you with lambing.☘☘
have you many more of those gates for the pens? Make more pens in your walkways and in corners of other sheds where possible I'd say. A few in the gym too maybe 😂😂 Storm is coming!
Oh boys I feel for you. Farming would be great if it wasn’t for the weather. My Dad put a flock of fresh shorn ewes under our house verandah for the night when we had a cold storm coming in. He reckoned he gave them all a nip of brandy too but it was probably him that had a few nips haha. I hope things look up for you.
Weather crap here in Co Derry , hard to get young lambs our. HEY saw you Tepari system at the yard used in an advert for the handling unit in last week's Scottish Farmer magazine. Hope your getting royalty fees 😂😂😂. Good luck men ,I new the hair dryer tip would be taken up.
Lads I feel for you the weather been shocking that’s for sure, storm Kathleen is something I’ve been dealing with for a number of years, that’s the mother in law 😂 all the best to you all.🇮🇪
Deep breath lads it's a marathon. I've finished lambing a month and am just getting right. Remember that when tupping time comes you'll be saying " I think I should lamb a few more this year 😂. Good luck and dry days to ya.
Ye are one of my favourite channels ye are hard tough men but suppose ye have to be especially with this weather we'll done wish ye good luck and good health this lambing season
Great video again to the sheep shepherd team hopping this weather will pick up soon we still can't put out the dairy cows and the feed getting really scarce just wondering could you get a few calf hutches and put them out where the lambs could go into them from the rain just Tring to think of a way that you could keep the ones that are out to stay out
Hope things improve for you guys, going to be some awful knock ons from this years weather - we're not even going to bother drilling anything on the farm this year
Would it be possible to erect some kind of three sided shelters on the lee side of the hill? I am thinking setting up a couple of upright posts with a cross piece on a permanent basis in the lambing fields and then adding a sloping tarp... well pegged down... on the windy side just up during lambing time. It would give the ewes a protected place to rest their lambs on a night that is lashing it down.
Feel really bad for the little lambs freezing to death in the rain, can you not knock up a few small sheds in the fields to give them somewhere to get into and dry?? Im thinking like small 8'x8' garden sheds or something similar?? Woukd that not save them?
A lot of farmers will have to cut back on heard to pull trew this year due to bad ground condition and lack of feed no money to be made this year for sure it will leave big shortish of food products al round
Tirlan Dairy Co-op has been giving it's dairy suppliers a discount on purchases of Dairy Ration to assist with weather difficulties since March 20 th . No other Co op has offered similar to their suppliers and None have offered any assistance to Sheep Farmers .. Why Not ? The Department of Agriculture at an emergency meeting to discuss weather related issues have stated that the Department has no funds to provide any assistance. Sheep farmers are exactly like them lambs along that Hedge
And so what about all the other multi billion euro agri busnoss Co ops ....Have they made any similar effort to assist.....and what about all the sheep farming customers ...

Pray the weather improves for u Glynn …ur doin a grand job keep ur chin up ❤
There are no other words for this weather.
Does anyone else think that the rain is man made???
Absolutely it is, you only have to look to the sky. Its now every day.
People used to laugh at me when I told them this years ago!
100% it is..
It is indeed. And I'm seeing they're saying the potatoes might be affected now too. Intentional 🤔
100% it is.
All older outdoor workers should know this is FACT.
Theyve watched the spraying & ignored it.
Stay strong !!! Good luck 🥶from Norway

It's such a lot of work for you. This weather is atrocious. Fair play to you xx
Oh goodness. Consider for next year putting up lean-to type shelters. They can be easily moved around and aren't very expensive to build. Good luck.
Does anyone know if there was a big field shelter would the sheep go under it ??
Best of luck, pray you get some good weather very soon. You're doing a great job but you must be knackered. 😴

It’s definitely tough going for ye Glynn, no break whatsoever. It’s hard to make any money and if ye do its well earned. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is the fourth sheep channel I've watched from different countries and it's fascinating to see the different methods each farmer uses.
The weather is the weather
It always has downpours in spring.This is an El Nino year so its slightly worse.Deals with it!!.
Hats off to you !! You have a job and a half ❤
You will have to build another shed for indoor lambing
Love it when you and your Dad laugh and chew each other out! Fun!
Dammit Boys, yous are dealing with tough conditions. Keep the good faith! The only certainty is that it will come to an end at some stage soon...

I'm no farmer but I surely appreciate the work you guys do. Sending best wishes from an equally storm-lashed Wales...
It has to take up sometime. Hellish in Scotland aswell. Never seen it soo wet in April. Alot of perished lmbs. Cold east wind and days of rain.
have you many more of those gates for the pens? Make more pens in your walkways and in corners of other sheds where possible I'd say. A few in the gym too maybe 😂😂 Storm is coming!
Keep going - only a sheep farmer can know how tough it can get in these conditions.
Oh boys I feel for you. Farming would be great if it wasn’t for the weather. My Dad put a flock of fresh shorn ewes under our house verandah for the night when we had a cold storm coming in. He reckoned he gave them all a nip of brandy too but it was probably him that had a few nips haha.
I hope things look up for you.
The roof planned for over the handling area would be very useful in this weather for the lambing!
Weather crap here in Co Derry , hard to get young lambs our. HEY saw you Tepari system at the yard used in an advert for the handling unit in last week's Scottish Farmer magazine. Hope your getting royalty fees 😂😂😂. Good luck men ,I new the hair dryer tip would be taken up.
What a nightmare. You have my sympothy, hope things improve.
Lads I feel for you the weather been shocking that’s for sure, storm Kathleen is something I’ve been dealing with for a number of years, that’s the mother in law 😂 all the best to you all.🇮🇪
Savage weather, im also lambing outdoors at the moment, im putting plastic jackets on the lambs as soon as there born and its saving lambs
Deep breath lads it's a marathon. I've finished lambing a month and am just getting right. Remember that when tupping time comes you'll be saying " I think I should lamb a few more this year 😂. Good luck and dry days to ya.
If the weather stays like this ye can use that rubber dingy in the shed. Hope the weather takes soon for all the farmers in the country. 🤠👍
glen have you still got the 6 cows
Hoping the storm not too bad very bad weather for poor lambs
Ye are one of my favourite channels ye are hard tough men but suppose ye have to be especially with this weather we'll done wish ye good luck and good health this lambing season
Great video again to the sheep shepherd team hopping this weather will pick up soon we still can't put out the dairy cows and the feed getting really scarce just wondering could you get a few calf hutches and put them out where the lambs could go into them from the rain just Tring to think of a way that you could keep the ones that are out to stay out
Would it not be possible to construct a few fixed shelters on the land?
It’s not easy Glyn with this weather it will pass keep it going you’re both doing a great job 💪👌
Hope things improve for you guys, going to be some awful knock ons from this years weather - we're not even going to bother drilling anything on the farm this year
It's pure torture this weather, long range forecast doesn't look great either, struggle on. That wee turf shed done it's job.
This weather would put years on ya, it's raining since last July, but there's a good summer coming. I hope...
Keep the heads up…things can only get better
Calcium really does the job!
Good tip
It is almost impossible to watch those lambs in such harsh conditions. Been through some of this on a small scale. Heart breaking.
Lamb jackets is saving lambs for us
Need to take cover on Saturday
Great to see this channel but it's sad what's happening something awful wrong.
Great video ..gives great idea about being out in the bad weather working....any wet time there ..??
Watch out for Kathleen. She coming in strong
Mate my thoughts are with you from Australia,
It’s getting warmer but shocking wet and windy
9-5 isn’t easy either
Plenty of stress
When Forest Gump said it never quit for 4 months I started to looked into Vietnam.. Then I found Operation Popeye....
Agent Orange?
Wow. Subbed. I salute you!

U sure have your battles with weather,glad I lamb indoors. Only have a few ewes now. Never lambed outdoors,it would drive me crazy doing it
Aye absolutely shocking weather from north east Scotland
Looks like less rain thanks forcast yesterday.
As a retired sheep farmer that is just heart break😣💔 nature can be so cruel.
It's not nature it's weather control
It's not worth it anymore Glyn, I'm lambing but in a bad humour at it every day. Weather and price of everything has us f..ked
The worst lambing for me period, land wet since last july, i just hope to feck it improves as we cannot keep going on in this...
SICK OF THE RAIN
We use lamb jackets or covers helps a lot and keeps the foxes away
Weather so bad we dont even get a calm before the storm😂
Feel really bad for the little lambs freezing to death in the rain, can you not knock up a few small sheds in the fields to give them somewhere to get into and dry?? Im thinking like small 8'x8' garden sheds or something similar?? Woukd that not save them?
Where I live it's mandatory to have sheds or at least trees for lambs...
Sorry lads about the weather.bad here in ireland too
.i notice we can soak it up better here in ireland
Your accent is like west cork.
Build them a proper shelters in the fields
Or just plant trees, some conifers. In my country you are not allowed to have lambs if the land is without shelters or trees!
Shocking weather the best of luck wa the sheep
A lot of farmers will have to cut back on heard to pull trew this year due to bad ground condition and lack of feed no money to be made this year for sure it will leave big shortish of food products al round
Would you be considering a big house now for the lambs

Between the weather, the foxes and the feckin crows it's a hard spring for the wee lambs.
