Shearing Prep in the mud!

2nd Shear time!
We get in our main mob of ewes and draft them into a clean and dirty line so that the only ewes that need to go into the shed are the ewes that need dagging.
Rams are shorn, all mixed aged ewes and 2ths are shorn.
Thanks to epidemic sound for the music and the artists:

Really love your videos, binged the back catalogue and watching your dogs work might be some of my favorite youtube content.

What's the deal with the couple of long tail rams, are they home bred or something.

[@HillCountryFarmer]

That’s how we identify the Teasers (vasectomised Rams). Makes it pretty easy to see in the paddock.

[@james787324]

Love the new Bull! I hope it's friendly enough. Does it get raised around people, or is it pretty wild?

[@HillCountryFarmer]

Yip he was great but it’s intimidating when you don’t know them. They usually get handled similarly to our weaners. Probably yard weaned, shifted weekly and handled in the yards 6 or so times in the first year.

[@garethdesborough7960]

What breed are your sheep mate?

[@HillCountryFarmer]

They’re a crossbred with Texel, Romney and Perendale.
We’ve put a straight Romney over them for the last 3 years to try and get better conformation. The crossbreeds are good for growth but are a bit of a mixed bag. Hard to pick an even line.
Cheers, Will.

🤝what is the electric on the dogs neck , I never seen that in Norway 🤔nice sheep by the way

[@HillCountryFarmer]

It’s a Garmin dog Collar.
Pretty handy training device and great for dogs with no ears.
It can make a beep-tone noise, shock and has lights on it so you can see where they are when you’re mustering in the dark.
Thanks!
