- Check out James Rebanks beautiful Herdwick sheep from the lake district in Northwest England. The Herdwick sheep breed goes back centuries in the lake district. James's ancestors have been raising sheep in this area for over 600 years! He has grown one of the best flocks in the world by selecting out the best animals that thrive in their environment. James's and Helens daughters are quite the shepherds themselves. Check out James Rebanks many great books on Amazon, they are wonderful.
Beautiful sheep! Best wishes to Mr. Rebanks and his daughters' farming endeavors.
I had a neighbor who lived on the next road over, about 1/2 mile or so. One morning late July 1996 I had 10 sheep with huge curled horns, white face with grey wool in the field with my mares and foals and 2 standing in my neighbors driveway. Had no idea who they belonged to or where they came from. Made some calls to neighbors, feed store in my tiny town and finally found out who owned them. Called, no answer left messages so had 12 wild as march hair sheep for a while. They were no fun to move through a gate to the next field over that had 5’ non climb fence with electric inside to keep them contained so they couldn’t escape again. Found a short water tank they could reach into and gave them hay. The owner called me back the next morning, he was a firefighter and worked 24 hr shifts. The sheep broke out and he didn’t know, came home to a empty field. His sheep were a breed of mountain sheep from the UK, looked just like these, big, long, wide heavy dense animals, long tails and thick, beautiful grey wool - ewes and the ram alike. Wonder if they were from one of the flocks in the same area as this farm is in.
I agree that this breed of sheep should be considered a national treasure.
LOVE this Europe tour of farms and farmers, Greg!!!!
The speed of the dogs and girls is on point 👌
I love the story of this flock and breed of sheep. Thank you for a great interview.
I read James' book, Pastoral Song, because of your interview, Greg. I also acquired his earlier book, The Shepherd's Life, and am reading it now. Great reads!
That was a great video Greg I enjoyed every minute of it. God bless
Well done, very interesting breed and story.
Farming is the future.
Thanks for sharing, Mr. Judy, sir.
Great video encouragement for the future
They all looked like keepers to me! What a great natural selection mechanism, if there were sheep that survived that foot and mouth disease... they should be used to help build resistance into that historic breed. It's really cool to see breeds of livestock unfamiliar to us here in the US. Thank you for getting all the footage you did from your trip and sharing.
Yep the sheep are certainly keepers
Beautiful!
Fabulous Video! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video, it's so nice to see historic breeds and young people wanting to keep it going.
so glad you showed that. Thanks Greg
James will be in touch when looking for a tup later this year
Awesome brown 🤎 with white head British breed rams # Greg American accent is clearly different from rams owner British accent #❤️❤️👍
Thank you Greg. I just want to say if it weren't for you sharing this video I would not know what it was like raising sheep in Europe. I missed the exact country where this farm is. Thank you for sharing this experience.
England
I think you would enjoy having a Border Collie working for you. I know I love having help from my two!
We have them here in Exmoor and they regularly come into the village/back gardens. The ram is very friendly and loves to come and say hello to me. He loves bananas and tomatoes. His ewes are a bit more cautious.
Awesome and amazing!!!
I think I need to move to Northern England
👍👍👍🐑🐏🐑
Thanks for the video! It is another great interview. I just got home from vacation. We went out to see my wife’s brothers in NY. We also stop in PA in the Amish community. It is the second largest Amish community in the world. The Amish is really intermingle with everyone there. We took a tour of a Amish organic dairy farm. It is very touristy out there compared to where you live. You gotta love sheep on how rugged they are.
You'd not be wearing a Jacket down South, that's for sure. There is an invisible climate line that runs from the Wash (Hull) down to the Severn estuary, It is going to be in the low thirties all next week down here. On another subject, I could swear I saw you in Missouri just the other day. So you can add Time Travelling to your list, you'll have the tin foil hat brigade pawing all over your vids and discussing the Esoteric language of Greg and Judy, I'll gee them along just for a bit of fun.
Lovely vid, brings back beautiful memories.
I don't think Greg's videos are always in date order. In fact, they're often not.
Greg, have you driven through Wiltshire? There lies Horton House Farm, run by Johnny Rider and his family. He was featured in Stockmen Grass Farmer 8 years ago. He raises over 100 head of dairy cows, lambs, hens, and hogs in a regenerative grazing system. He ships his milk to a premium market, and he sells his other animals directly to consumers. Like you, he uses polywire to move his animals across roads because his farms are not continuous.
🤠
there’s no ear tags, am I correct? How does he differ all his sheep? Great interview. Beautiful sheep!!
Herdwick sheep . Folks if you are nearby call in at the farm restaurants at Ings on the Kendal - Windermere road . Sunday lunch Roast Herdwick lamb or Charolais beef , both raised on the farm . Can not get better than that
Meat from Herdwick sheep is very good , buy it if you see it for sale
That’s crazy about the meat burger and meat free burger how the college only gave them credit for saying the meat free burger was healthier. That’s some World Economic Forum propaganda.
Pretty soon they will be saying insects are the only healthy version of animal protein.
Good video did you get a video of the Shorthorn cattle in the back ground.
Those are belted Galloway cattle.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher the red and white ones are shorthorn.
I prefer the progressive angle of regenerative farming and ranching that is above and beyond the formerly-progressive organic farmers. The conservative corporatist farmers pushing factory farms with chemicals everywhere and losing money to produce feedlot animals or the one to two cash crop of corn or soy are just a horrible way to farm or live. Its polar opposite of the corporatist liberal farms doing monocropping and sending their stuff to make plant-based-faux-meat in labs is just disgusting. All pioneers through history have all been progressive and on the cutting edge. It may not be the most fun place to be, but science is proving it under the microscope and with observation on the land. Its good to innovate with old and new techniques. A lot of time the old techniques had some good, but weren't exactly right. The sheep guy you interviewed before realized that the grazing on the mountains was a good thing, but they didn't allow enough rest time in between grazing. Until he watched your videos, he didn't realize what rest would do. I grew up gardening and now I realize not turning the garden soil (even to mix in compost) and mulching on the surface took my garden to a whole new level.
The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is so so horrible on most fake meat processed with different oils “greases” like sunflower oil plant base but they take a lot of the good stuff that your body needs
How to answer that question . I have been taught that fake plant based meat is better than meat from animals . I wonder if that would be an acceptable answer.
I had a guard dog who protected me when I was a infant back in the day when mothers put their babies outside in a pram to get some fresh air . My aunts dog should arrive and keep me company Mum had to call her SIL and ask her to come up the road and take the dog in hand as he would not let Mum near me. He certainly took the self appointed job seriously.
Has anyone read the list of chemicals and unhealthy crap that goes into processed foods that are cheaply sourced and adulterated with ……oh well the rant is long enough . The author certainly wrote and illustrated a lot of books I named my pet rabbit Peter because of my copy of one of her books. It is always a disappointment when you find out one of your favourite authors died before you were born. Josephine Tey was the mystery writer that I enjoyed reading and it was a bummer to learn that there wouldn’t be any new books to read. 🤷🏼♀️🍀💝🍀👍👍👍🍀💝🍀🖖🖖🖖🍀💝🍀🙋🏼♀️
My big disappointment years ago was Georgette Heyer. I'm pretty sure I read all her books before I was finished.
@@wendyscott8425 one of my favourite writers too I believe a book worth reading is worth reading at least three time once for the excitement of reading a new book then to discover the bits that I glided over the first time the third time to savour the way the author constructed it. The how why as well as the what! 🤔😃🍀🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖🍀🌟🍀👍👍👍🍀🌟🍀🥳🙋🏼♀️
@@lindagates9150 I've read certain books three times, too, like Peggy L. Henderson's series of about 30 novels starting with _Yellowstone Heart Song._ (One of these days I really must get back to Yellowstone!) I know I've read many of Georgette Heyer's books more than once, too, though it's been a jillion years ago, and I really can't remember. Gotta love getting old.🥺LOL
@@wendyscott8425 getting older is better than the other choice.at 71 I have become the healthiest version of my self ever, no longer on the weight yoyo out in the sun gardening exercising. Not reading as much but still enjoy learning about a wide variety of topics watching RUclips providers those people who are passionate about their callings watching RUclips videos like Greg's is such a great learning experience . Enjoy dipping in to your series. I hope it lives up to your expectations. 😃🍀💜🍀🙋🏼♀️
If you make your own whole food plant base burgers using whole grains different beans lentils etc which you use a blender or food processor that is a different story you maintain the nutrients of the plant your not trying to pass it off as meat it’s just another way to consume plants
Apart from the anti nutrients won't let you digest all of those nutrients
Maybe. On the other hand, it's hard to call something a whole grain when it's been pulverized or even blended.
Must be up Penrith way? such a typical north Cumbrian accent.
