There is definitely a worthwhile video to be made about how you got into sheep farming and especially how you have built your business over the years. I think it has great informative and educational value so I hope you make it!
Hello David looks like you got your work cut out for a few weeks lambing just a bit worried about dust coming out the straw chopper in to lungs for long term heath might cause bit of pneumonia because it’s been a difficult winter with so much damp and wet hopefully it’s going to dry up so they can soon get back out side we are all learning more every time we watch your school.and you devoting your time and energy thanks to all at sheep school.
Cuteness overload with the lambs and your young children, I love it.! 🙂
Hi David throughly enjoying your vlogs, you have beautiful children, sorry your work load is so busy, my son in law is shattered, with the late nights.You are very much appreciated, warm hugs to you all. Sue & Ben (Woodhall Spa) xx
This is a really genuine and lovely video. Treasure the moments with your young children. Thanks for sharing your life. Good luck with the lambing.
You are so kind
You’re brilliant all round keep up the good work love your videos what you see is what you get very best of luck for your lambing season 👍👍🐏🐏🐏🐑🐑
I wish 30 years ago there was more ppl like you that liked to share knowledge and their enthusiasm, when I was younger all the sheep farmers would say don't bother with it, costs too much, nothing but a nuisance. These days the island I live on has very few sheep more moor fires every year as there is no sheep to control the grass and moss on the bog/moorland along the land that was once nice green fields all overgrown and white with dead grass and most of the best land being sold to build houses
Hearing about how you got into raising Sheep would be interesting. The baby lambs are sure cute but a lot of work at the same time.
It is great that you have kids from the local schools to come and learn about raising animals.
Best wishes for a successful lambing season.
Please make the video. So happy you are willing to share with the students. Not everything is learned in a textbook. Keep up the good work!
Love how you have the kids with you cute vid
Brilliant stuff, Great shed and set up for this weather
I think it would a great video, your history with sheep, and the talk you give to students. I had a friend raising goats, who made really good money doing tours for primary and secondary aged kids after she was finished kidding. The kids loved it.
It be good to hear your talk about building the business to the students, another great video enjoyed it cheers
Always have good success hand feeding out few small bales of hay over winter months David, obviously best when there’s a bit of snow on the ground and they get used to doing what everyone else is doing and coming in for a bite and a crystalix too gets the taste for a nice bit of cake, so much easier handled as well come lambing, well worth it for not a lot of effort. Few licks there in the pen wouldn’t go a miss either, when it’s at this stage I don’t count the pennies too much and get the lambs on the ground healthy as possible.
Love the little yellow lamb, he already speaks the language.
Yeah ,when they are that colour they are in a little bit if distress during birth .they end up pure orange juice colour if prolonged with difficult presentation .
@@emmett1739 I was referring to the little yellow lamb of the human variety, who also had a very loud baa.
@@wendyrowland7787 He sure is a cutie!
Ah Wendy there was me being all farmer, that really cracks me up ,so true children and lambs make for a perfect Easter.
Great video. Wishing you a successful lambing season!
Yes definitely would like to see a video of how you built up your farm. Great videos 👍
Great video David as always good luck with the lambing 💪👌
Another great video , lovely to see your little helpers also , great work with students, would we like to see a video from starting out , sure we would love 👍👍
Congrats on the help
Definitely worth a video!
I would love to see a video of how you started out. Love watching your video every week, and I'm learning a lot from them. We started with 3 pet lambs on a dairy farm 2 years ago, and this year, we have 7 ewes to lamb. It's great.
Great video showing the farm and lambing.
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
We have tried a new one this year we have bedded on shavings we have had no limping sheep lovely and dry clean a little bit more expensive but lots of pros to using them
Easier to muck out clean dry
We muck out daily along the feeding space works a treat will deffo be doing it again next year
Good stuff.
When changing food for any animal the usual recommendation is to do it gradually. Whether that means starting meal outside or bringing hay inside, etc would be your choice. Good luck!
Very interesting video. Your children are adorable. ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Love to hear how you got to where you are today.
Good video we had a few weak lambs and similar problems at the start but I think it was because I didn't bring them in soon enough and it was a hard winter on them body condition wasn't ideal but things improved as we went along ps would like to hear about your farming journey by the way we have a 135 and you can get a weight carrier for the front and weights from Ben sergeant tractors in Portadown be a good job 👍
6:39 - 6:41 This reminds me of “Little Bo-Peep” & “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from Nursery Rhymes (1983)
Good luck with the lambing. Be good to see a video on welding a shed when you get some time after lambing.
Taking some footage from that shed I'm making at the minute. Hope to make a video on it at some stage..
I had a ewe the other day she had one lamb and was struggling to get 2nd one out, I penned her up and helped her with number 2&3 lambs to come out which she wouldn’t have lambed due to position. Anyway she then proceeded to eat placenta just as I got lambs out but like Cian she was choking on placenta and I pulled it out of her mouth. Never had that before and I usually take them out of pens. Hope your lambing is going well
I want to see more of the lambs, adopting, when lambs don’t want their fostermum and so on. The hard stuff and how you solve it 👍🏻
You sure have cute little children ❤
Definitely tell, how you got into them 👍
Yep! Want to know how you got into sheep from the start! :D
Will ye get that small little sheep farmer his own sheep school hat for when he is out checking the baby lambs !!!
He gets dressed himself and bates the door till he's let out.. Will have to sponsor him a hat....😜
Well Robbie has gone off somewhere with a bobby hat ..that little man is surley entitled to his own hat ....
Another good video David, I lost a big lamb with the bag over its nose yesterday and me in the field and all. 😭 That was a good save.
Great video David keep up the great work. Is Noah a grandson of Robbie’s? He is the spitting image of him
I would love to hear how it all started, like you do to your groups😊
Realy interesting , thankyou .who are the older ladds working with you? .
You have your hands full . Expecialy with your younger son . He wants to help .!
Take care .
Thanks you.. they are both students here for work experience.
We would love to hear how you got into sheep farming.
I feed them as ewe lambs so they know what it is generally works well. You could also try feeding your meal with molasses as it maybe more palatable for them
No interest in sheep myself however I’d never miss one of your video’s now 19:39 always interesting and something learned
I certainly will be watching my few cow now regarding the afterbirth Regards
I have had a few lambs this year with no power on there back legs. (Can't stand). Vet said the ewe/lamb might be low in copper.
It was only in the ewes that had 3 - 4 lambs.
Would love to learn more about how you got to where you are now.
It might be an idea to tie a couple of 56is on to the front axle sir
Talks about Talks 🐑 🐑 💯
David with those young sheep ,I usually train them to eat a little bit of meal when they are ewe lambs.If not I run them separately from the other ewes and start them on a little bit of meal about 8 or even 9 weeks out from lambing regardless of how good the forage is in front of them and by the time you house them it really reduces the situation you are in at the moment.The other thing is if you had an issue with enzotic abortion and have vaccinated them a very small percentage will throw small weak lambs regardless how well they are fed.Keep up these videos very informative for young people looking at sheep farming as a way of life.
I now feel free to admit our dogs were very glossy around lambing.
This reminds me of A Christmas Romance (1994)
Would you put a weight on the front would take the pressure off the 135
I feed ewe lambs as lambs they don't need much I find put a couple of old /empty ewes with them will show them what to do we tube anything small or you have a doubt about once you've tubed it you can rest easy we're having terrible weather here in🏴too cold and wet but drying up yesterday and today good luck with the lambing night shift has taken over here don't start till 5.30 tomorrow morning 🎉🎉
Do u not use the spray iodine very handy
Very enjoyable video as always. I would love to hear how you got into sheep farming. It would be a good video
Turbocharged of a 3 cylinder jcb same engine and wheel Weights or wafer weights on front of tractor and a small assisted ram to help with lift or an industrial Massey 20
I would always feed the ewe lambs, even when they are going to the ram, or maybe 2 weeks before that
The placenta provides hormones that hel0 after giving birth. For a woman (not that we ever eat ours 🤢) but it helps the uterus contract and prevent bleeding out. There is a ridiculous benefit to it for animals but a small risk too.
I wouldn’t say her not eating cake since being in had cause that lamb to die the last 4 weeks of pregnancy the nutrition she is in taking in going into the milk not the lambs (a vet once told us )
When we are lambing if there is anything that looks at bit weak etc we tube them with about 150ml of warm powered milk it just helps 30/40 seconds of a job helps massively
The main reason animals eat the afterbirth is to avoid attracting predators.
Correct, it's a way of eradicating the scent of their newborn and protecting them against predators. Alot of animals do the same
Brilliant ❤❤❤

You dont get issues with new lambs outside in that rainy weather?
Once they get fed and belly full of milk no problem but won't last a night if hungry..
Where is robey and dad i bet they are in the pub
Try lambing on mud and sand instead of straw and you will never see joint ill again. Best regards from Sweden

17:45 Is Dead Lamb or Alive Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️
Put them on there own so the older ewes don't bully them would help
Engage more with other farmers
Good luck
Do you mean for farm tours and visits?
6:39 - 6:41 Is Twin Lambs, a boy or girl⁉️
5:00 Is Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️
17:31 Is Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️
1:11 Is Lamb, a boy or girl⁉️
They eat them from nature because of other animals finding them it is natural for them to eat it
Lick bucket would help them get more nutrition
