    It's good for all people to see farmers working. Most don't really know how farms work, and how hard it can me. You show that you really look after the animals. It's great to see another type of farm. Here in Western Canada we don't have the same terrain you have. Watching you and your dog bringing the flock down from that mountain is amazing. 🙂❤🐏🐑❤🇨🇦

    I was thinking "don't they make gages for sheep shears?" Then I remembered what a hassle it was to try and get one through my poodle's fur and realized why that would never work. 😆

    Is your wool worth much. Compared to our wool sheep Columbia in USA it seems like your is more hair than wool. Love your videos have been watching a lot of them

    Probably find them doing very well come lambing time. Ewes will find shelter in bad weather and lambs obviously will follow them, ewes clipped earlier tend to be happy enough laying in a bare spot letting the lambs take the brute of the April storms

      The Mayo Blackface are generally fairly good for finding shelter Conor, they're good mothers. But I get you, it'd be even more of an incentive.

    How do you find the automatic dosing gun, I had one and had to return it as it wouldn't fill the barrel correctly and I wasn't sure how many mils they were getting.

      There are shite ones out there. If you get one by NJ Phillips you won't have those issues. They also have service kits. I think one of our drench guns is 20+ years old

      Agreed, huge difference between a good and a bad one. I must try those Eamon!
      Any of ye try the fancy ones they have in the UK yet? Where you hook it into the side of the sheeps mouth.

    Can you buy a comb that rides an inch off the sheep , so it rides automatically 1 or 2 inches off the skin?

    Is there a texture difference in the bread of sheep you raise opposed to other breeds? It looks softer.

    • @ewetube.videos
      @ewetube.videos  Год назад

      The fibre is thicker, if anything it's coarser and closer to hair actually! 5 cent a kilo is all we are getting for it.
