    I was so impressed by Paulina’s moving of the bale of hay. My friend had a farm in Alberta, Canada. We NYC girls tried to move a bale, it took 5 of us to move one bale of hay! Our friend and her sister laughed their socks off watching us struggle with that one bale of hay. After they recovered from laughing they came over and moved the bale. We city girls learned a valuable lesson, farming is HARD WORK.

      I bet it is really tough. When I saw how big it was I didn’t even try to move it. 😂 I definitely have a greater respect for this type of life and work.

      I wish more people had these types of experiences 🙏 In my country we are having many issues with a rural/city separation and I feel much of it could be resolved if city dwellers had more on farm experiences and therefore more empathy for farmers.

    I just watched this now!! How wonderful to have this experience! Sheep are so awesome. I love it when they vocalize, and when it sounds like a person doing an impression of a sheep! The babies are so very sweet. I met some in India, and they like to suck your fingers! They get lost very easily, because they lack the life experience, and Mom needs to find them. I met a week-old lamb who wandered around the house, where Mom was in back grazing, and he was so lost! We carried him back to reunite them. He had the sweetest voice! Omigawsh it’s a lot of work to look after them, tough physical labor and often messy and gross. They’re such wonderful creatures. And indeed a dog is extremely helpful to keep them safe, and to a certain area.
    Thank you so much Jewells!!!💙💙💙

    I haven't seen any llamas or alpacas on my 'tours of Icelandic RUclips farm videos'. Are there none? In some parts of the Western US, those are considered very-unwanted rivals for feeding grounds, but they're also powerful 'watchdogs' and anti-predator forces. I wonder if Iceland's resources are so finite that a feeding-ground rival is even legally forbidden.

    • @mightybaldking

    We should have schools on wind turbine with solar roof hybrid system, we have solar window film, solar rolls, solar shades, solar lights in/outdoor, natural gas, hydrogen, biofuels, and tidel, river/ocean currents, wave, geothermal, and piezoelectric energy where applicable. Then vertical farming (Freight, Bowrey, Plenty) all school food. With ivestock farm on vertical farming fodder. Fisheries, aqua pontic with classes and farmers market vendors. Use the NEOM solar dome desalination on coastline areas. With all school buses (Lion Electric ) and staff vehicles electric with charging stations. We can also have electric tools on building hybrid system or electric generators with personal solar. Electric tractors can be used. Its a complete self sustainable system. Villages can solar water well tankless water heater and air conditioning or purification? One tree planted, 4ocean, mangroves kelp farms coral restoration are good. This old house RUclips has construction. Hope this helps? God bless. 2 Peter 1:7

      @@happysheep6097, at least these sheep and their lambs can frolic in unspoiled pastures all summer and well into the fall. They are separated around the time the ewes start ignoring their offspring anyway.
      Now, consider the conditions the pigs and poultry that you probably take part of your sustenance from (bacon, eggs, fried chicken etc.). They rarely, if ever see daylight and have to wallow in their own excrement all their lives.
