- What's up guys!
This week's Vlog is one I filmed while shearing for the Calvey Family on the gorgeous Achill Island. I got plenty of gathering and shearing shots as well as some of footage of the Island, although camera footage just doesn't do it justice!
Enjoy 🔥

Great flog nice sheep savage party of the country 👍👍👍
Two of my favorite things to watch. The dogs working and the shearing, The glorious scenery is a bonus today. Thanks for sharing.
You're most welcome Anita, thanks for watching as always.
Beautiful scenery! I just love watching herding dogs do what they are supposed to do. I've got a tiny 15 lb Sheltie that I'm going to have herding instinct tested then hopefully a few ducks and Babydoll Southdowns for her to harass in the spring.
Haha sounds like fun! It sure is, a beautiful place. :)
A pretty part of the world. Just returned from three days gathering sheep and lambs off islands this weekend as well.
Brilliant, good on you!
What a treat this one is, gorgeous scenery, the dog working....Casey is the best. Thanks for this beauty of a vlog.
Glad you liked it Christine! 🔥🔥
@@ewetube.videos what fly gives them fly strike over there as you well know it’s that dam aussie green fly here in NZ
Excellent flog and epic views. The lambs were looking pretty good considering it looks like they were on some pretty hard ground
Great video Karl your right some spot 👌👌
Thank you for another video I love watching you and listening to you as my grandmother was born cork and you always remind me of her
Thank you Helen. :)
Looks epic!
What a beautiful spot! Totally enjoyed this one, Karol.
Thanks Dan, worth a visit!
U were so close to my house thanks for the amazing vid
You're welcome Sharon, are you on achill?
💜💜🐑🐑👍👍
I got stuff for my dog before from the vet when he had pad trouble, botanica I think it was called, good stuff. A rub of a mulcher around the place would make the gathering a lot easier, hard for the dogs with the rushes.
Interesting john! I think the issue with the mulcher is that it's such hilly stoney ground!
@@ewetube.videos Yeah, I'm blessed with a bit of that myself, say around 99.9% !
Great vid Karol
Thanks Eamon, our type of farming. 😂🔥
@@ewetube.videos that's for sure
Looks like Iceland 🙂
That's a great complement because Iceland looks beautiful!
Lovely video, was down in Westport last week raging I didnt get out to Achill.
Why don't they shear the wethers? Is it to make them look bigger in sales or something?
I think they end up using most of them in the butcher Mary, if it were me I would probably shear them.
I hope you keep a on there horns while you are shearing
What a lovely place. Looks just like we think Ireland looks like. Do you have any idea how old the stone building are?
What are the high grasses in the field called?
Is it something the Sheep eat? It looks terribly course.
How do you get to this island, by ferry?
Thank you for taking us there!

Older than me I'd say Colleen. 😂😂 No if you see very early on in the video I'm crossing the bridge over to it. 😁
Is the wool on those Mayo sheep any good? It looks soft the way it comes off.
It's worth about 5c per kg Wendy, shocking 🥵
@@ewetube.videos I only realised after seeing another of your shearing epics that the wool is shaded and a lot shears off cotted from their harsh life on the mountain. Good to see Joanne, she is quite a gal! I think your wool should at least make good insulation material. I think it may have found it’s way into army blankets in the past.
Are these "double-coated" sheep? I seem to see long outer (or guard) hairs, as well as a softer under coat. Am I seeing that right?
Ah just longer wool on them, it has sort of a hairy feel to it.
No that's not the first lister, shedhanded in a shed with one with a massive flywheel, that was over 20 years ago on a small old farm, had to warn my young children to stay well from it, that was in New Zealand.
I wouldn't say so, just having fun since it looks pretty old and rusty. 😂
What’s the story behind the wee shoes ya wear while Sheerin the sheep
Special shearing shoes called Moccasins or Mocks for short Eoin, they allow you to be quicker and more nimble with your feet as you go around the sheep rather than clunky boots or wellies. They also have no sole so you're down closer to the sheep and you have better grip with them then boots or wellies. That's my understanding of them!
