    We bought a few replacements ewes from a farm and they cut the ID tag (between the numbers) after tagging it in the ear so it’s just less likely to snag on something/harder to get caught on something

    When they cut teeth I would introduce creep then wean whenever their eating well because the milk only make them grow up to a certain point then the creep makes them fill out faster so 90 days way to long unless you don’t have the money or feed to support the lambs right away

      @@Lockboyz910 Feed is supplied from day 1. Rideau peak milk production hits about 60-70 days. Lambs on feed and milk will far surpass lambs just on feed at that age, combined with the weather challenges their health is much stronger. Pounds gained are cheaper in feed to a ewe than straight grain to a lamb. Are you from Canada?

Your videos are perfect as they are, a little bit of chores from different days, your speech and commenting are fun!

Anyway, thank you for keeping this channel and all the best to you and your lammies and sheep! 😊

    Just came here to ask the same question, is there still snow where you live, or are your videos delayed some. I know Canada is known to be cold, but I was shocked by it last video that there was still snow. I love how you say it’s pretty warm today while there is a mess of snow!!! How are the seasons there? Do you ever get HOT weather? Just curious! Also, really glad you are getting more views than expected. I’ve always lived in the city (Philadelphia) so I love watching farming, (mostly sheep and goat farming) for me it’s so different from my life and I find it fascinating and amazing, most of it anyway.

    • @RJSheepFarm

      Yes this video was filmed in March. I hardly have much to show in the summer but I am still filming here and there. I keep videos fairly delayed for a few different personal reasons. Snow left end of April, July was up to 35deg C, now that we are in August it is starting to cool off a bit. Still mid 20's during the day. Appreciate you watching@ Philadelphia is a long ways away from here.

    Interesting, comparing how livestock farming is done in different areas. Lots of similarities. The big differences across channels is the fascinating problem solving you guys do. Brilliant. Sometimes, you gotta work with what you have, and if you don't have it, you have to make it work anyway. Keep the vids coming. You're doing a GREAT job. Lub Dem Sheeps!

    Great content. Enjoyed it very much. I also watch two other Canadian sheep UA-camrs. Sandi Brock has over a million viewers. She use to have four lambing groups a year but has now reduced to three. She uses cedars and an injection to facilitate the breeding of the off season ewes. Her lambing average is well over 2. Triplets are common and each lambing group she has a few ewes that have 4 or five lambs. Her sheep never go outside. She has cameras in her lambing area and keeps track if there are any issues. She has a nanny machine and any lambs over 2 are taken from mother and placed with the milk machine. There will be 3 nipples and there will be 30 or 40 lambs in the milk machine area. The other Canadian UA-camr I watch is Ewetopia. Older husband wife team have an operation similar to yours. If any of their ewes have 3 lambs, they mark all three lambs and they bottle feed all three while leaving them with mother. Look forward to new content. You really give it your all.

    Watching from Ontario (~50 ewes of Rambouillet and Rideau), big fan of your ingenuity with the self made equipment and approach. Are you pasture grazing at all or is it all barnyard style? How big is your lambing barn? How long are you keeping moms/lambs in the barn?

    • @RJSheepFarm
      @RJSheepFarm 2 місяці тому

      Hey I appreciate it! Ewes go on pasture June 1, lambs are all fed in feedlot. Currently we are about as dry as I have ever seen, barley silage is less than half yield and grass has quit growing. Going to be a very interesting year. Barn is 40x60. I keep them in for a minimum of 10 days depending on how cold it is.
