    Take my hat off to Sean and his family, honest nice,hard working people. I’ve just watched the episode in which he lost Tara, I feel for you mate, losing my dogs was bad enough but when you work with them every day and you have such a strong bond it must be so much worse, I admit I cried watching it, don’t be afraid to show your love for your animals, they love you back. All the best for the future, you deserve it.

    Total congratulations to Sean on his Farm purchase and in turn grateful thanks to his Father and Uncle for supporting him with this endeavour. Hopefully the poor condition it is clearly in was reflected in the purchase price as the capital investment to drag things back to "normal" because that already has and will continue to be a major financial drain on the business.
    I wish you the very best for the future young man because I think you deserve it.

    Thanks for the catch up Cammy, and of course Sean! It's great to see and hear from someone who is trying to get started , for himself, in this difficult industry. He is very much aware that he wouldn't have been able to do as much without the help from his family, but doesn't take this for granted. He knew that if he didn't go for the farm when it became available, it could be a good few years before cheques would be made payable to him rather than his father for the selling of sheep you've bred!. Good luck to you Sean!( Next will be a wife and wains!!😂) Cammy , we know you actually have a " day job ", plus a family, plus extras, - there are only 24hours in a day!!😂, so we get to watch something when we get to watch something. Thank you (- hope Lizzie and wee Jock are well?) 👍🏻🐑❤

    I love watching shearing-a video of that, even with no commentary-would be entertaining enough for me!
    How’s Lizzie doing? Wee Jock? Do you plan to find out if Jock will be a big brother to a boy or a girl? If so, will you tell your Sheep Fans? ❤️ So excited for you.
