I’m from North Carolina USA and started watching your channel because I love watching the puppies do their work, but now I watch because I just love the channel and all it stands for! Stacy, you are such a lovely person and the two of you together are so cute! Wishing you both the Happiest of New Year! May all your dreams and wishes come true in 2024! Praying for you and the pups! God Bless all you do!
Wonderful yearend video. Wanted to compliment you, Sean, on your vision for farming sheep with a balanced ecologically sustainable approach. You’re a man for our times. Much love to you, Stacey, the beautiful doggos, and, of course, the sheep!!! Thank you for the excellent content in 2023. Happy New Year 🎉❤
Love how you are sharing with us. So grateful. I live in Ohio, USA. I know nothing about farms or working animals. Love learning to appreciate the hard work that goes into your field. Thank you both for your effort.
Happy happy New Year Sean and Stacy. We are from Idaho and are retired sheep people. We loved the life, The dogs we had Were mostly border collies. Our ancestors came from Scotland, So we feel a deep friendship with you. Here's to your future life with many sheep and collies Involved
The world can be quite chaotic at times, however your videos bring a sense of peace and clarity. Hope for a better future for all of us. You’re living the dream and we appreciate a glimpse into a life well lived. I understand that there are challenges in every life, but a day riding along with you is incredibly special. Thank you Sean, Stacey, Kate, Echo, Storm and Monty.
I wish that I could have had the opportunity to become a shepherd at 22. Instead, I had to work city jobs until I was almost 50, when I bought this little place in Oklahoma, where land is cheap. I've never been able to quit my day job, because it would take someone bigger, stronger, and smarter than me to make a living on this place alone. But I have made a little extra pocket-money on my farm; I have turned a small profit on hay and cattle. Like you, I love being outdoors in every weather, and working with the land and with animals. You-all are right; living your dream life is better than being more financially successful.
My dog is a 1/2 boarder. She is FAST and smart. We are her sheep and she communicates what she wants in so many ways. I see that in your Kate. Thank-you for sharing.
So nice to hear the 2 of you talking about your lives, the dogs, the farm, the sheep. Sean, I admire & applaud that you want to engage in sustainable farming, where the land & the animals are respected. I think it is so funny that Sean likes rats & Stacey likes vultures; I like both of those animals, too, I'd have rats as pets but they live such a short time I get too sad when they die. I love watching the turkey vultures soar overhead here where I live; & I am kind of obsessed with vultures for Hallowe'en ( I DIY'ed 3 vultures out of plastic flamingos!). I guess if you like animals, you like them all (mostly). I think one of the reasons your channel has done so well is that the 2 of you are such nice natural people, you don't seem to be putting on an act for the camera. And of course the dogs are awesome too. May you have a VERY happy New Year!
Happy New Year!! Thank you for your Q&A I Iearned a lot. 600 lambs in a day- mind boggling! Stacey, I laughed till I cried about your rabbits name of Slippers. Perfect!!! I LOVE your dogs, Kate the Great has my heart. ❣ ! Thank you for sharing the beauty of the land, your wild sheep, and amazing dogs. I always feel like I have traveled and am happy. I wish you both a very joyful, prosperous, and peaceful New Year!🎊❤💚
I've commented on this before: I don't understand the low price on the wool when buying wool yarn to knit or crochet with or wool fabric to sew is ridiculously expensive. I guess it's all the processing in between that drives the price up.
Beautiful video just like Sean and Stacy are beautiful people! I really enjoy all your content as it is nothing I've ever seen living in Texas all my life! I love watching the dogs working, they are amazing! I wish y'all a blessed 2024 💜 🐕 🐑
Sorry I missed this video. Holidays were busy. Thank you for sharing things about your life. I am an absolute lover of all animals, which is how I found your channel. I'm not really good with humans, I like people and I'm kind to people, but I prefer animals. But you two are extremely humble and I only wish the very best that life can bring you. I hope one day you do get your farm. That is why I am always going on about the subscribers. I so can not wait for 1 million. Oh, how I will jump up and down for you two on that day. And trust me, it will be hard.......I'm old! 😂 I love your dogs, sheep, and even the cows. See you two in your next video! Take care 😊
Warm greetings fron Bulgaria!❤ Thank you so much for all the cute, videos and good humor you put in them! Special greetings to your pretty and sweet Stacey, and of cource - to all your lovely dogs! Be happy and enjoy life! Wish to all of you a very happy New Year!
Sean and Stacey Thank you so much for this video. I enjoy your candid comments. All the dogs are wonderful to watch ( I'm a little softy for Monty, although I am truly impressed with your working dogs!) I certainly hope your Christmas was a special one. Have the Happiest of the New Year!!🎉
Happy New Year to two of my favorite RUclipsrs! (And the pups...) Thank you for all that you share with us! My family originated from Scotland so it is nice to see it from your perspective! And you are so right about taking care of the land! If you let it go, it really no longer is...land. Where I live in the states, people are buying up land and putting houseing developments on it. I get the whole housing thing, but what used to be Nordic back country ski trails is now someone's backyard. I look forward to watching you in 2024! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank You both so much for your Q&A New Year Video😃!!!!! It was fun and informative 🐏🐑 Love the opening of your shows, so beautiful, just like you 🎉🎉 Take care of yourselves, wear sunscreen. Enjoy life while you are so young despite all the hard work 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 🎄🎄🕊🕯🌟 Blessings and Have a great 2024♥️
Thank you both for your generosity of spirit. Watching you and your dogs brings a bit of peace I can't always get here in California. Actually, no one in the States gets much peace lately, due to the political situation, some again, thank you so very much! Hooray for dogs,always, and good people such as yourselves! Live long and prosper❤
Sean, I'm not sure if you send him Tiktoks or videos, or if he finds them, but OzzyMan loves you (well, he mostly loves Kate the Great), so getting your videos to him will always help, because he has such a large viewership. Stacey, bite that bullet and take a flight! Make it a short one, say, to the north of France, or even Ireland. You'd love travel, just a quiet travel...the type where you get to explore the castles, have a quiet lunch somewhere, wander the streets on your own time. But not a bad idea, starting with your own country. So happy to see you both content with your life! Happy Hogmanay to you both! I hope the year to come brings you more blessings! Get yourselves that tall dark one to cross your threshold tonight or tomorrow!
Very nice of you to let us intrude on your lives. I hope the channel pays you back for all the effort you put in. Tell me about the dog in the picture on the wall behind you? One of the current pack or, maybe an ancestor? I've been watching for most of a year now and enjoy it all but have to say that your intro pix of the dogs are most captivating. Just lost my lab/newfie girl at 15 yrs+1day and yours and the Stonnie Dennis channel really help to fill the void for me. Thanks and pls keep it up.
A wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing your lovely love work life dog stories. We love it❤. An American here and I had no idea about anything sheep herding etc. the dogs r what really caught me. ❤Kate is my favorite . Sean with your experience and knowledge and work ethic you will go far. Your comments about farming sheep is the truth. It’s meat. What a great pair you are. Stick together.
Great video! Veery informative & interesting! You and Stacy are such a sweet couple! I always enjoy vids with both of you in them! Sean, you’ve enlightened me so much about herding! And what the sheep are bred for. Having great grandparents from Scotland, has certainly heightened my interest in the country, even tho my Scottish ancestors were from a leaderless clan! Apparently, that was what the name MacEwan meant. So glad I caught your video, and always check in regularly to catch up with you, Stacy and all your amazing dogs! 🐾❤️🕊️Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Sean, Stacey, and Doggies (Kate, Echo, Storm, Monty). Wow I found your dream of biodiversity and eco-sustainability on sheep farms so very interesting! Hope you get to prove that. It just makes sense. Here in the wilds of Africa, there are so many different ungulates and others running together in vast herds. They all crop grass (and trees: giraffes and elephants for instance, and springbok also nibble at the lower leaves of some lower shrub-trees) at different levels, and live in perfect harmony together. All the dung makes for good soil, and places for the dung beetles and other species to be. We have our problems with rain... mostly lack of, but sometimes excess of. But things actually work better when we don't try and overcontrol, and put species in the land that aren't actually suited to it. I guess in Scotland you once had plenty of different deer species, alongside mountain sheep and goats, and wolves? And Eagles? And foxes. Try talking to the fox with your mind, Stacey. Maybe it'll come back. If you love the butterflies (or was it moths?) so much, you can surely talk to the foxes.
Happy New Year! So happy we found you two! Our farm has always had English Shepherds. Thank you for the daily inspiration and the love of farming. We are in Smithsburg, Maryland USA.
Love love love this channel, with Echo, Storm,Kate,and Monty, and also you do a great job, Sean and Stacy. Since I lost my Border Collie the (3rd) I've had, and found I have Cancer at the same time in January 2023. Goodbye to 2023. Your videos keep reminding me of my dogs I've had as pets in the pass. Happy 2024🎉 . Give the dogs hugs and kisses for me.

Hey Sean & Stacy & all the Beautiful Dogs. Echo, Storm & amazing Kate✨ May 2024 bring you the best of everything life offers. We love seeing all your stories & videos, sometimes it feels like I’m there with you in the fields. Great Work✨‼️
Thank you for sharing so much if you day to day life with us strangers 😊Being able to experience your passion and knowledge for sheep farming is a real treat for someone from the suburbs of Georgia, USA. Have a Happy New Year, stay healthy and be safe! Looking forward to your story continuing in 2024🎉🥂🎆
We had a male Border Collie that was the best dog ever! He loved being with my husband and I, loved going on long walks, rides in the car, going camping, what ever we did he did. And he was every protective of us if he didn't like the person. I miss him very much.
Thank you Sean and Stacey for doing this video and answering questions!! May this channel continue to grow and I hope you prosper!! Happy New Year!! 2024
Happy New Year! Two questions 1. Do the dogs ever try to herd the two of you? Like try to get you in the same room? 2. When are we going to see the two of you lambing! 😊 🐾♥️🐾🐑🐾♥️🐾🐑🐾♥️🐾
Happy New Year to you both and of course the dogs. I certainly enjoy watching them here in NYC… PS As a Paul McCartney fan since the Beatles hit our shores in ‘64 I was so glad to hear you’re from Kintyre. His video there along the water with the bagpipers really showed its beauty.
Hearing and learning about your overall "life" adds a good bit of depth. Enjoying what you DO have is a (big) secret of true success; there's not improvement in owning a farm if you lose 50% of your freedom. ...Also, appreciated hearing your ideas around farming to build biodiversity, using specific breeds and artful treatment of the land. Would love to hear more about your biodiversity ideas. Keep in mind, you can cultivate elements of your audience by presenting content that speaks to those specific elements. Some of us want the details about some of the things you are living over there, although I know TikTok is made for what can be handled in short form, or spread through short form. ...I mentioned in another comment, we have a border-collie poodle named Pema. Watching her run and leap is one of the joys of my day.
So, if the wool doesn't bring any money, what is done with the wool when the sheep are sheared? Is any of it given away? Just wondering if wool could be made popular again as it is a natural product. Do people in Scotland make carpets out of the wool? Carpets like Persian or Turkish? I just hate to think of it going to waste. (I am part Scott!) ❤I enjoyed this video so much. I grew up near small farms & knew farmers in the USA. It seems like a good life. 🎉Happy New Year🎉
The relationship between you Stacy and your dogs are wonderful to see!, thank you for share with all of us your work and personal experiences, I love your life!, every time that I watch your videos makes me feel relaxing and happy, I want to wish you all kind of blessing for this new year!!! 🤗❤️🎇🎆
Thank you for a mindful video. You bring viewers back to communicating with nature, and each other and in doing so sharing the order and peacefullness that you welcome with your life style, although very long hours, and much work, it's like because you love it it's not gruel work.
Wishing you and Stacey, health, happiness, prosperity and abundance for 2024. Keep coming with the videos and blog's. You are a lovely couple and your Dogs are amazing. Even Monty 😆 Lang may yer Lum Reek. 😘🏴
Y'all are just adorable! I love watching your videos and wish y'all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! I hope one day to get out to see the beautiful lands of Scotland! I love that y'all take advantage of the beautiful lands you have!
Listening to Stacey talk about bringing insects home reminded me of when I put a caterpillar into my doll’s house in my bedroom. I tried to barricade it in with the tiny furniture 😂. Woke up during the night to find it crawling towards me on my pillow! 😳
How often do you bathe the dogs and pressure wash the bike? Looks very messy there. Love the videos. We had a BC a couple of years back and she was so sweet, loving, and just amazing....we miss her every day. I have fond memories of her trying to herding our cats. Comebye!
You are such a beautiful couple! I have been watching almost from the beginning. I also have a young Border Collie. You have taught me a lot on the characteristics of the breed. I wish you much happiness in the new year. I would love to see Scotland some day. Keep up the good work. Your videos are so interesting. Happy New Year 🎊 to you both!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us! I have really been enjoying learning about sheepdogs and life in rural Scotland. I live with an 11-year-old mutt and it is amazing how much we know each other.
I’m very glad to have met you through this channel. I appreciate your sharing these videos and brings me so much hope for the future generations. May your home always be filled to the brim with love and joy and happiness.
Great video as always. Funny what you said about the fox up there in the middle of nowhere . I see one most days here in centralLondon. You sound like you have a very peaceful life up there. No wonder you don’t feel the need for change
Thanks you two! It was a very nice Q & A session. Lots of interesting facts and insights. I love Stacy’s striped hair! From Grandma Ellen in California.
Really enjoyed hearing you answer all those questions. You're a lovely couple and I hope your shepherding activity will continue to give you and Stacey pleasure and satisfaction. Nice to hear that your dogs bark a lot, I have a border cross and he's the same. It can be quite frustrating at times, but fortunately I don"t have neighbours very close.
I watched because I love border collies and will never own one. (Don't have enough work for them 😂) I am also fascinated by the UK and especially Scotland. Thanks for answering these questions. Its nice to know more about your work and who you and your wife Stacy are. Happy New Year.
Thanks for what you posted to date. Looking forward to what is coming next. So glad to learn that you have an interest in sustainable farming. The reason I watch your videos; I grew up in the US just east of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River is just north of here. We has a 200 acre farm, cattle, horses, and a Border Collie that kept it all running smoothly. Many years later I now live in town with a Border Collie who is a house dog. She is a dream. I know that she would love to play with sheep, but she has had to settle for my sons socks, tee shirts, the occasional deer, and the ducks at the river. And yes, a fence is just a suggestion to her. She clears it without even slowing down. It really amazes me as I watch your dogs because I see such familiar mannerisms. Amazing. I decided to just play with her one day--I gave her one of your commands. It was like something inside her understood. She was so alert and ready... But she had no sheep. ; ) Still, it was telling just to watch her. Have a wonderful 2024. Kate is my favorite 💓
Happy new year! Great video, now when someone asks a question in the comments we can direct them to this video😀. I hope you all have a great year and thanks so much for all the great content❤
During the offseason you should set up a nest area in the barn and run a B & B-Bed and Barkfest. I’d pay good money to bed down with the pack and just interact with them 😂😂😂
Thank you for this wonderful video. It lets me get to know both you and I think that's your wife, better. I really love the videos. I had two border Collies one named Scout and one named I do and they were the loves of my life. They both passed away of old age one was 15 one was 16. So I absolutely love watching these videos. And your dog Kate looks exactly like my dog Scout did in her later years.
I love watching your wonderful videos. You are such a beautiful, charming couple! Unfortunately, I do not know English and do not understand what you are saying at all. 🥰👍
Happy New Year! Thank you for all your time, answering questions. We live in Missouri (I grew up in Virginia). We live near Weston, MO, & my husband works out there in Weston at the Whiskey Snug part time, which is also attached to the Celtic Ranch. They get a lot of their products from Ireland and Scotland. The Snug has a variety of Glenfiddich whiskeys, and we have 2 kittens named Balvenie & Ardbeg Wee Beastie.
Happy New Year! I just found your youtube 2 days ago and I'm hooked! I've always loved Border Collies but never lived in a good place for high energy dogs. I keep telling my Yorkies they should get to work like these Collies! I'm 70 years old so I'm too lazy to train them now!
***Dose everyone else notice the way Sean looks at Stacey?*** These two are just the loveliest. Happy New Year 🎉
They are truly in love ❤ Stacy looks at Sean that way too 😊
I’m from North Carolina USA and started watching your channel because I love watching the puppies do their work, but now I watch because I just love the channel and all it stands for! Stacy, you are such a lovely person and the two of you together are so cute! Wishing you both the Happiest of New Year! May all your dreams and wishes come true in 2024! Praying for you and the pups! God Bless all you do!
I’m from NC and love the channel too.
Re: the dogs fighting...
I love that phrase, "It's mostly teeth and noise." I'll have to remember that!
Agreed! Great expression.
Wonderful yearend video. Wanted to compliment you, Sean, on your vision for farming sheep with a balanced ecologically sustainable approach. You’re a man for our times.

May 2024 bring you the best of everything life offers. We love seeing all your stories & videos, sometimes it feels like I’m there with you in the fields.
Great Work✨‼️
Thank you for being there !! Love to watch you all. Happy new year !!!

Happy New Year! Two questions 1. Do the dogs ever try to herd the two of you? Like try to get you in the same room? 2. When are we going to see the two of you lambing! 😊

Would love to hear more about your biodiversity ideas. Keep in mind, you can cultivate elements of your audience by presenting content that speaks to those specific elements. Some of us want the details about some of the things you are living over there, although I know TikTok is made for what can be handled in short form, or spread through short form. ...I mentioned in another comment, we have a border-collie poodle named Pema. Watching her run and leap is one of the joys of my day.
Happy New Year guys; thanks for another glimpse into all the things you do. 😊
Y'all are such a great family! Thank you for the Q & A! Wonderful to see Stacy! Happy New Year!
So, if the wool doesn't bring any money, what is done with the wool when the sheep are sheared? Is any of it given away? Just wondering if wool could be made popular again as it is a natural product. Do people in Scotland make carpets out of the wool? Carpets like Persian or Turkish? I just hate to think of it going to waste. (I am part Scott!)
❤I enjoyed this video so much. I grew up near small farms & knew farmers in the USA. It seems like a good life.
🎉Happy New Year🎉
A lot is still used but not as much some farmers just throw it away now sadly
You might ask a weaver if he or she needs any sheared wool. I learned to weave, but still lack a loom and supplies. Want to learn to spin too.
Thanks for the cool question and answer video! Learned a lot 🎉 happy new year to you both. And the dogs of course ❤
Same to you! Thanks for watching
Happy New Year from Montréal. I love the fresh breath of air you guys send my way every video you post. Thanks.
The relationship between you Stacy and your dogs are wonderful to see!, thank you for share with all of us your work and personal experiences, I love your life!, every time that I watch your videos makes me feel relaxing and happy, I want to wish you all kind of blessing for this new year!!! 🤗❤️🎇🎆
Thank you for a mindful video. You bring viewers back to communicating with nature, and each other and in doing so sharing the order and peacefullness that you welcome with your life style, although very long hours, and much work, it's like because you love it it's not gruel work.
Wishing you and Stacey, health, happiness, prosperity and abundance for 2024. Keep coming with the videos and blog's. You are a lovely couple and your Dogs are amazing. Even Monty 😆 Lang may yer Lum Reek. 😘🏴
Y'all are just adorable! I love watching your videos and wish y'all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! I hope one day to get out to see the beautiful lands of Scotland! I love that y'all take advantage of the beautiful lands you have!
Listening to Stacey talk about bringing insects home reminded me of when I put a caterpillar into my doll’s house in my bedroom. I tried to barricade it in with the tiny furniture 😂. Woke up during the night to find it crawling towards me on my pillow! 😳
Happy NewYear to you, Stacey and all the dogs!🎉❤
Happy new year
Happy new year....wishing you All the best in 2024. Woof wooof
Happy New Year from the States 🥂 Hope 2024 brings you (all) health and happiness, 💕 joy and peace.
Wales would be nice, stop off at the lake District then down to Wales. Lots of nature and castles/history!
How often do you bathe the dogs and pressure wash the bike? Looks very messy there. Love the videos. We had a BC a couple of years back and she was so sweet, loving, and just amazing....we miss her every day. I have fond memories of her trying to herding our cats. Comebye!
Happy New Year!!! I hope 2024 is everything you want it to be :-) Thank you for the wonderful videos!!!
You are such a beautiful couple! I have been watching almost from the beginning. I also have a young Border Collie. You have taught me a lot on the characteristics of the breed. I wish you much happiness in the new year. I would love to see Scotland some day. Keep up the good work. Your videos are so interesting. Happy New Year 🎊 to you both!
Happy New Year!
Have fun and enjoy your lives! The best us yet to come!💖
Happy New Year Stacey and Sean! Thank you for such wonderful videos and look forward to more this year!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us! I have really been enjoying learning about sheepdogs and life in rural Scotland. I live with an 11-year-old mutt and it is amazing how much we know each other.
I’m very glad to have met you through this channel. I appreciate your sharing these videos and brings me so much hope for the future generations.
May your home always be filled to the brim with love and joy and happiness.
Happy New Year to you and the pups, the sheep, the big moths, and all the other little critters you love! 💗
Thanks for 2023. Happy Hogmanay.
Great video as always. Funny what you said about the fox up there in the middle of nowhere . I see one most days here in centralLondon. You sound like you have a very peaceful life up there. No wonder you don’t feel the need for change
Thanks you two! It was a very nice Q & A session. Lots of interesting facts and insights. I love Stacy’s striped hair! From Grandma Ellen in California.
Really enjoyed hearing you answer all those questions. You're a lovely couple and I hope your shepherding activity will continue to give you and Stacey pleasure and satisfaction. Nice to hear that your dogs bark a lot, I have a border cross and he's the same. It can be quite frustrating at times, but fortunately I don"t have neighbours very close.
I watched because I love border collies and will never own one. (Don't have enough work for them 😂) I am also fascinated by the UK and especially Scotland. Thanks for answering these questions. Its nice to know more about your work and who you and your wife Stacy are. Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing with us together. You're such a sweet couple, and it is so interesting to hear about your life. Janice from Arkansas USA
Thanks for what you posted to date.
Looking forward to what is coming next.
So glad to learn that you have an interest in sustainable farming.
The reason I watch your videos;
I grew up in the US just east of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River is just north of here. We has a 200 acre farm, cattle, horses, and a Border Collie that kept it all running smoothly.
Many years later I now live in town with a Border Collie who is a house dog. She is a dream. I know that she would love to play with sheep, but she has had to settle for my sons socks, tee shirts, the occasional deer, and the ducks at the river. And yes, a fence is just a suggestion to her. She clears it without even slowing down.
It really amazes me as I watch your dogs because I see such familiar mannerisms. Amazing.
I decided to just play with her one day--I gave her one of your commands. It was like something inside her understood. She was so alert and ready... But she had no sheep. ; )
Still, it was telling just to watch her.
Have a wonderful 2024.
Kate is my favorite 💓
Thank you Sean and Stacey happy new year. You finished the 2023 year with loads of interesting information. 🎉
Happy new year! Thank you
Happy new year! Great video, now when someone asks a question in the comments we can direct them to this video😀. I hope you all have a great year and thanks so much for all the great content❤
Really nice video. Enjoy getting to know you both better.
Just found this channel. You really do have the best life. Cheers from your adoptive mama in Massachusetts.
Love you all and your epic border collies, and the Hebridine sheep too! Happy 2024 from Wyoming
And Monte too! Lov❤e
Stacey I love your hair! Happy new year from Wisconsin
Oh thank you!you too
Happy new year to a beautiful couple. So glad I found your channel, it's great.
Happy new year!!
During the offseason you should set up a nest area in the barn and run a B & B-Bed and Barkfest. I’d pay good money to bed down with the pack and just interact with them 😂😂😂
These videos with Sean and his Team of Collies are brilliant and makes really good interesting viewing to take your mind off these troubled times.
Thanks for sharing. You seem so comfortable with each other.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It lets me get to know both you and I think that's your wife, better. I really love the videos. I had two border Collies one named Scout and one named I do and they were the loves of my life. They both passed away of old age one was 15 one was 16. So I absolutely love watching these videos. And your dog Kate looks exactly like my dog Scout did in her later years.
His name was Maid, after some native Americans from northern california. My text said I do but it's Maidu.
Thank you for 2023. Can't wait to see what's in 2024. Happy New Year🎉
That was delightful!!! I wish you both nothing but the best in the upcoming year
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!!
Amazing knowledge! Thanks so much!
Happy New Year! Nice meet and greet guys, thanks for sharing! Cheers
Ha a Happy New Year! family and all bordercollisar and other animals. God bless you
Happy New Year, Sean and Stacy!!!🎉
I love watching your wonderful videos. You are such a beautiful, charming couple! Unfortunately, I do not know English and do not understand what you are saying at all. 🥰👍
Bless you, Happy new year 🎉
What a beautiful couple with dogs!
Thanks for a cool view of your home life .,., :) Truly enjoyable.
Thanks
Catching up with the channel as a new subscriber. Thank you.
I enjoy the videos for you choice of background music. It complements the farm atmosphere which is not for everyone.
Love to watch you two. Kate is so beautiful. Such an inspirational young couple. Love your ingenuity.
Happy New Year! Thank you for all your time, answering questions. We live in Missouri (I grew up in Virginia). We live near Weston, MO, & my husband works out there in Weston at the Whiskey Snug part time, which is also attached to the Celtic Ranch. They get a lot of their products from Ireland and Scotland. The Snug has a variety of Glenfiddich whiskeys, and we have 2 kittens named Balvenie & Ardbeg Wee Beastie.
Thanks guys, really enjoyed learning more about you. Do many others live on the farm?
Happy New Year! I just found your youtube 2 days ago and I'm hooked! I've always loved Border Collies but never lived in a good place for high energy dogs. I keep telling my Yorkies they should get to work like these Collies! I'm 70 years old so I'm too lazy to train them now!
Thank you both for sharing your passion, wisdom and expertise. Happy New year to you 🎉❤😊
