The way you introduce advanced science to help livestock develop makes me very touched and excited, because my own country has not yet been able to develop such things. Thank you for giving me more vision. to the world and specifically the livestock industry 😊
Love your sheep pen setup, and Davy is a lucky man!
I’m dipping in and out of your channel as I am watching so much RUclips content on farming and other topics these days but I must say I love your content. Keep up the good work. Best wishes, Tony.
Hi Nicola, you have a great investment in the milking machine. You never know how each ewe and her lambs will go feeding at the start. To have an up to date 'Nanny' to feed the bottle babies is an excellent idea. The lambs can drink 24 hrs a day, just as if they were drinking from their mothers. Your life should be a bit easier and you should not have to sleep in the shed. Its good you have a local business who can make your specific gates when the original suppler lets you down. The shed is working so well with the sheep in there now and thats a tribute to you, your mum and dad for designing a wonderful duel purpose animal shed that keeps them dry. Good Luck with the lambing. Chris from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.
Brilliant Nicola.
Great to see the cute lambs milking from your new machine- well done you and Davy- !
Lovely to see your happy smiling face despite the challenges you and your partner face daily- you clearly are well matched!
Wow - I was right back in the smells of lambing there. Vividly remember the smell of the powdered milk being made up. That is a cracking good shed set up as well. Miss our family farm everyday. Love your videos.
Hey Nicola /Davy all your hard work paying off new shed looks stunning your mum she follows you every minute of the day smiling with pride at you and Davys achievements Dad behind the Scene too. Tara will be a huge help she looks amazing . 🙏🏻😉👍🏻👏👏
That is some shed 👍 Could look at it all day long
Some set up it's amazing what you've done. The calm before the storm lol. Great set up for the pet lambs.
I think both you and the dog did an excellent job. No panicked sheep and everything was calm.
Really look forward to your videos and your dogs are amazing
Great job. Your mom (R I P) is so proud of you
Ive got she’d envy and I’m a dairy farmer!!!
Liking your dog stinker who is an absolute star , you may not be a professional dog trainer but you clearly have a lot of experience and knowledge which is professional!
Thanks for sharing your young lamb milking logistics- really interesting!😊
Oh yes both the automatic milk machine and lambing shed are worthwhile investments--I had a semi automatic milker for my lambs-it kept the milk I made for lambs warm in a water bath which had a fish tank heater. Home made but it worked very well. Funny you are using a 2l jug like just like the one I had for calf/lamb milk . Do "they" still make "em? Your videos tell the story as it is--the good and the bad day to day. So enjoyable --we have a chuckle now and again!
I trained my first Border Collie in the early 80s. The instructor was Danish, but lived in Sweden. I bought my first sheepdog from him. She achieved shared first place at a competition in the DK. I have had herding dogs ever since. In the late 90s I bought an Australian kelpie and still have an Australian kelpie. The instructor advised that the only treat for herding dogs was the cooperation of shepherd, dog, sheep. No pills, clicks, or biscuits where you would experience a dog that was on hand all the time and not at work. Two years ago I took in a kelpie who was encouraged with treats. She was eight years old. Arhh it's hard, but I love her as a companion dog. The sheep, Gotland Fur sheep, have been gone for many years, but I have good company with a shepherd dog and she knows what I'm up to before I know it myself. love the intelligent herding dogs. The reward was to see the sheep and lambs in the barn before bed. The sheep fattened up, the lambs lay on their mothers and in the straw. The dog went round and sniffed them all and all were quiet and calm. Mutual respect and cooperation.
Nice looking dog. You have a great setup
Dog looks really good, very promising,
Great video again grass is coming along nicely.
Wow good work ❤
Great video Nicola that’s a great piece of kit can I ask when you have a triplet do you put that lamb onto a single ewe or does it go straight into them pens as a pet 👌
Look to be doing a good job with the young dog. It must be tough finding tups that don’t have blocky heads in the Texel world now.
T bread are your dogs? They are gorgeous. They remind me of my dod who is an Australian kelpie. Great vlogs.😊
Good job

👍👍
Great to see the first of many lambs in a superb set up Nicola. Does the milk machine mix up a batch on a timer or is it when the container get emptied, that it automatically refills for adlib suckling?
Awesome cheers 👍🏻
I think shine milk is better more natural because made of ewes milk better thrive and get teat covers stop lambs chewing them
Great little dog. (I call mine stinker too). Have you seen "Tara farms" on here? She too is a young woman working with sheep. But quite different to you.🙂
Sheep School 🥸 😍
Hi how do you get the water pressure to the machine with an ibc because surely the machine needs pressure
A German Sheppard?
Hi how are you
