    🇨🇦 I have a question. When we have to drench a calf I always hold my hand on their throat to make sure the tube is going down the correct pipe. Otherwise the calf will be drowned . Is there any special thing you watch for when drenching aka tubing a lamb?

    I remember spreading manure once and the feed chain came off.. when it was full... then dad and I spent the next couple hours shoveling it all out. Luckily it was no where near as big as that thing.

    Great video! Thanks for posting. Really awesome to see the dogs doing what they need to do. Getting dogs for our farm too. Too many coyotes, bears, and foxes for me to feel comfortable. Question - the floor of your barn, is it cement/concrete or dirt? Debating what to do in our future lamb barn. It’s a lean to off our barn now where the tractor etc lives but I’m going to convert it next year and not sure what to do about the floor. Thanks!

    • @RJSheepFarm
      @RJSheepFarm Місяць тому

      Dirt. Sheep pack the ground so hard that the manure pack just slides off the ground. Obviously cement is always better but I've been using dirt for years.

    I really enjoy your videos! I used to have just 3 or 4 sheep and the lambs are real cute! You mentioned that Fendt tractor being a nice tractor. Well I have worked at a farm equipment dealership all my working years and yes a cab would be nice but Your feather ahead with your John Deere. The Fendts are awful winter starters, resale value really sucks and unreal over priced and parts are crazy expensive. No I did not work for a John Deere dealer, just being honest is all! Sure loved that You mentioned that You went to Bible study, way to go!!👍🙏 Keep up the good work!

    Hey man. I am a phony sheep farmer, I only have 22 currently, but I’m in northern UT and run my own fencing business for my work. I am 27, hard worker, and would love to come up and bring my welder & donate a few days of work to your place & see how a real sheep ranch operates. Not lookin for money, just lookin for a working vacation to learn how you scaled this whole sheep thing up to full size. Real impressed with your success

    16:33 what temp? I’m in New Brunswick. I don’t think we get near as cold as most of Alberta. But this is the first time I’ve seen someone do a mostly outdoor system like yours so I’m trying to get a fair temp comparison! Thanks ☺️

    • @RJSheepFarm
      @RJSheepFarm Місяць тому

      Probably around -20. We don't get the humidity like you guys though. We have days of -30 or worse especially with the wind. Lambs can take cold, but they can not take wind. Good wind fence and shelter is key

    Stupid uneducated comment about the baler. Baling two different types of forage one which is light and big stems the other which is dense and small stems which do you is going to be heavier? I have a 469 silage special jd and it will put out 2200 lb bales at 45% moisture all day

    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
