Awesome mate, keep these videos coming. Moose is really starting to come on now with plenty of work. They say some kelpies you need to run out to the paddock to take the edge off so they listen better 🤣🤣 he definitely looks like a yard dog!
Always enjoy your videos, but this one was exceptional. I think because it was the simplicity of it. Farmer, dog, sheep, all in a gorgeous location. Your calm voice, and love for your animals is calming in a world that is full of unrest. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to bring us along your farming journey. PS please give Moose a “good boy” and a headscratch for me 🐕🐾🦴🙂
Very impressive work with you young Kelpie, nice footage. It reminds me of the relentless days of gathering horned sheep off high Rocky hills when I was a young lad in West Cork and Kerry. The lost and dizzy loners that would give you more of a work out that the whole bunch. Keep fluids up and keep smiling. I was wondering if you know of the Jim & Mervyn Gallowe up near Easky or some direction . I meet them buying NC rams and ewes. I lost their contacts.
Interesting history around the Knocknarea mountains there, of Queen Mave. She was the only queen that seemed to like North County Cheviots, she had a history or fearsome warrior. Mostly like poached the sheep out of Scotland.
Interesting video , always enjoy your vlogs Moose Is coming on great guns and will no doubt be a very valuable member of the team Is it common to house fattening lambs in Ireland, in the uk a lot of lambs are put onto stubble turnips etc to fatten - good for the sheep(&shepherd) and good for the crop farmer Another really enjoyable video keep them coming
I have two kelpies, they're the best. One loves the yards and is very full on, don't really use her in the paddocks as she just runs and forgets about me. My other is the paddock dog, her and I have moved mobs of over 1,000. Kelpies are great dogs but they need to be able to think for themselves, best thing I've been taught is to set the situations up for a win, particularly during training days, life will be easier as they progress. Now to find another Kelpie to add to the team....
The Wiltshire shepherds of old on the chalk downland were known as lookers. Observation probably has always been the name of the game.I love the personality of Kelpies, but being such high energy dogs they need lots of work. Is it true that they have some Dingo blood?
I would have to think about cutting my losses. If two lambs are costing me half the time I spend on the whole flock, then I'd rather eat them myself and spend the time I save improving the healthier lambs. But I'm an economist, not a farmer.
You have to spend time and money to make money buddy Most farmers don’t see this always be open to change Especially this year lamb prices will soar pretty soon. From where they are now But that’s just my opinion As is you’re opinion Fattening lambs in my experience is well worth it
Yes more content in fattening lambs

Moose is a machine! I like his total joy in working.
He sure is!

Good advice!
Good job Moose! He is certainly learning. 😊

Another good video
Keep it going
Will do Seanie
Yes. Enjoyed this one.
Great video 👍🏻
Hi hope you're keeping well you have some nice sheep haven't seen your sister for a long time how she doing and keep the video coming 😊
Thank you Paul! She's great, she doesn't really do youtube videos anymore!
Your moose looks, sounds, body and head especially of a NZ Huntaway dog breed. More so than the collie x kelpie
I agree Kirsty! But i'm told he's a kelpie haha
Super video again 👍
Thanks Martin
Moose is great😂 miss Casey though
Do you fatten horned organic lambs??
I’ve heard organic nuts isn’t great and that theirs no feed value in them
I don't Darren, the lambs in those sheds are conventional lambs, that's interesting!

Moose is doing great. But where's Casey? I miss seeing her. You said she was back at your home place. Is she ok?
I've missed a few of your videos. 😢
She's keeping well Lisa, I went straight to this job rather than going back home for her
More on the fattening, she'd is two closed in they need all the air they can get ,not good to pare foot rot on straw bed it speeds like he'll
Where did you get the kelpie .?
He belongs to my partner Gerard
More about the fattening if you can
Whats trade like for blackfaced ewe lambs at the moment?
It's been good this year, up from last year.
Yes
Horned sheep never liked being inside

Sheep farmers are not like that - 1000 sheep and 1 missing would look for them till found - dead or alive.
You have to spend time and money to make money buddy

But that’s just my opinion
As is you’re opinion
