Turning Grass To Mud in a Week - Buying Time, Sheep Fluke Fears

- This video dives into the day-to-day decisions and challenges of sheep farming.
It starts with a call from a local farmer worried about sheep making a mess. After setting up temporary fencing to prepare for a move, I discover there’s still plenty of grass left and manage to persuade him to let the sheep stay a little longer.
The risk of liver fluke is high this season due to ideal conditions, and hearing about a neighbor losing four sheep has me on edge. I discuss the precautions we’re taking to protect the flock.
Robbie and I head to another field where sheep have turned lush grass into a mud bath in just a week. We move them to fresh pastures, secure the area with temporary fencing, and I address some quad bike issues that desperately need attention.
Later, a neighboring farmer drops by to borrow a headstock for a ewe struggling to bond with her lamb-a chance for me to share a quick plug about my product!
A few days later, on a frosty morning, it’s time to move the lambs to the final field of grass while multitasking with the drone and the GoPro.
It’s all in a week’s work-mud, frost, and everything in between!
Thanks for watching, see you next time...
Happy healthy and prosperous 2025 to David, Orla, Robbie and the whole gang. Keep up the great work with the sheep and the videos.

Great video David I hope 2025 is a good one 👌
Good stuff
Video on the wagon roof shed would be good. I’d love to extend my wagon roof shed by 1 bay but not sure if it would be crazy money.
What’s the memorial headstone & Irish flag for at 08:02 in the video David please ? Love a bit of Irish history so I do !! Thanks
Robbie i have an old earthing pole the missus uses for a washing line prop
Good Morning.
What fluke dose has your neighbour used? I’m guessing triclabendazole based?
David quad for sale in quadfactors just seen it might suit 1800
That quad would be a poisoned chalice for a thief.
David will you ever give poor Robbie a Sheep School beanie/cap for these cold days moving sheep and wire....
What is the setup you have for winding up the fence wire?
Interesting
Is it dairy paddocks you're grazing, or silage ground?
👍
I think its time for a new bike a new gen honda 420 is a great bike avoid the old gen
Good luck with everything in 2025. Hard to keep big numbers of sheep in Grass especially if its wet...😂😅😅
