Dorper Sheep Pasture Lambing in the Middle of Night... Do we have twins!?!?

Our 2nd year of lambing on our homestead! A night of little sleep, checking up on a previously troublesome ewe. She gives birth on a cool night out on pasture. Previous year she prolapsed, hoping for a smoother experience this year with this girl! We have been crossing our fingers for more baby girls as we wish to grow our flock... Thanks for watching!

Rotating Sheep Before Work! You Can Get This Done Quickly!

This morning I take you along on a quick paddock move before leaving to work my day job. I have had to begin moving the sheep early, rather than in the evenings due to the lack of daylight. We are now keeping them in each paddock for 4 days. Moving fencing on the weekends to accommodate a week's worth of grazing has been valuable! Thanks for watching!

Hey folks! Want to apologize for the hodge-podge of video. However, this is all the footage I could piece together to show the lambs being born. It was very stressful and sleepless! Can't wait to do it again though! Haha. These are our Dorper/Katahdin cross sheep. The mothers are all half to 3/4 Dorper. The ram they were mated with is 7/8 Dorper. We had 4 healthy lambs. 3 ewes and 1 ram. The ew...

Quick update on the condition of our honey super! Then a dive into the brood chamber to do a quick inspection for any swarm cells. I am a first year bee keeper so excuse my lack of explanation depth. However, I am fascinated by the construction of these bee hives. So I thought some of you may find some interesting viewing.

Did you ever get a processing place setup on your property?
We purchased our Waterford Stanley brand new February 2007 from Lehman’s Hardware in Kidron, OH. Best investment we have ever made. Heats our entire home, besides cooking and baking our meals. Ours is deep dark green stove with warming oven and two side shelves. When we have passed our hope is our children will pass our rural home and Irish cook stove to one of our grandchildren.
@@patrickclark9909 Very Nice! Yours has all the bells and whistles! I do think the shelves on the side would be handy. I think I have seen them with a hot water reservoir. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the movable sheep shelter from?
@@Imononeization just something I made
@rosefamilyhomestead oh ok, thanks
We have a Rayburn, the Stanley's English cousin and love it so. Ours has a boiler wrapped around the firebox so it runs out hot water + wet underfloor system
Good video
Dan you said it drafts well, is it a 6 inch flue or an 8 inch flue? Straight up no elbow?
Yes it drafts excellent. No smoke at all when opening the door. 6" stove pipe straight up and out the roof! Single wall pipe on the interior of course, and then triple wall exterior. I had read an article regarding the importance of triple wall exterior, it keeps the pipe insulated and holds the temperature. Supposedly a cooling outside pipe will hinder draft results. Previously I thought the triple wall was just to help prevent from rusting out but apparently there is more to it....
Man $15 is CHEAP. Our birds are $6 per lb.
Can this replace a log fire in a room? Does it give enough radiant heat?
Oh my yes... whichever room the stove is in will have an excellent secondary heat source.
How long do you leave the chickens in one spot before moving them? Also, what size space do you give them and how many chickens in that space? Thanks!
I believe you are the gentleman who just emailed me. Hope you got my reply.
@@rosefamilyhomestead yes that was me. Thanks for the reply and for the videos!
How often do you have to move the chickens doing it like this?
Thank you so much for going into detail about all the features and how to use the stove. This video was super helpful for us as we navigate our antique Waterford cook stove! Cheers!
I’m 55 I learned to cook on my great grandmother’s wood stove she thought the electric stove would catch the house on fire lol. Great memories and the food does taste better
Hello from our working farm in Central Lakes Region New Hampshire. Your choice of an Irish Stanley was a good one. I recommend that stove to anyone who is tight on floor space and it does a great job for cooking and heating. I restored our great uncle's 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. Its a beauty and heats 1,000 square feet. We built our 2016 home and designed the kitchen around that stove. I find it amazing you feel you need to justify having a cook stove. We built our house to be both on and off-grid. New Hampshire can be harsh in the winter. We lose power and our wood stove is a Godsend. Being a farm , we log and have plenty of firewood. We like the 1940s lifestyle ~ Diane
Hi Dan…..Thank you for this demonstration…..I have this stove in my cabin in Alaska, it was purchased in the 80’s, I believe, by the previous owners of the cabin…….do you know if they are still selling parts for this stove…thank you. Also where can I purchase the fan?
So I know when I did a Google search for "Stanley Waterford Parts" there were a few parts available but not many. The Fan I purchased from eBay, just search "Heat Powered Stove Fan" should be able to get one for around $30. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this demonstration! So wondering if parts for this stove are still available, I have this stove in my cabin in Alaska, I believe the company stopped producing this stove in 2018?
Great video. My mother used a wood cook stove for close to 25 years. She prepared three meals a day for a family of 14. She was more than happy to begin using an electric stove. She commented it was easy to cook with stove. However, it was a skill to be mastered to bake with a wood burning stove.
There is absolutely a learning curve when it comes to baking..... maintaining the fire to keep a desired temperature and then rotating the dish frequently so it cooks evenly! We made a loaf of bread in the oven yesterday because our electric oven failed!
Make a shed to collect rain water with a big tank.
Thank you for doing this video with the stove. It helped us understand the parts we were missing from our own Stanley 8 Range that is in the derelict farmhouse we have recently purchased in Ireland.
I love your shade structure!!!🤩
Oh thank you very much! The chicken one I am totally happy with.... the sheep structure I would recommend taller wheels! Thanks for watching
Polite my ass and don't know what they do. They don't give a damn. Quit making excuses for dirtbags.
Cool
That cabinet and oil lamp look to ne awfully close to the gire nox side of the stove. Thought it was 36" from any burnable surfac
The breast and the tenderloins are second to none on this breed. Very happy with how they taste.
Our freely chic was a ruby ranger
I got 35 jumbo cornish x rocks last year and the males averaged 9.4 lbs at 8 weeks and the hens averaged 8.0lbs at 8 and 1/2 weeks. We got 55 coming this week. My whole family loves them. All of ours made it thru to 8 weeks with no problems at all
Wow! Are those processed weights or live? I know our family and friends/customers really appreciate the home grown chicken! Thanks for watching..
The weights are killed with blood drained, head and feathers removed then weighed.
Well done
Great video!
The coffee grinder is definitely cool. I could imagine the stove in a cabin and waking up at sunrise to make a cup of coffee before a hard day's work. Thanks for sharing!

Great content. You’re really about the only one doing content that is 9-5 real life. Keep up the awesome content!
I really appreciate those kind words. Thanks for watching. Hope to have more time for videoing this spring!
My question is what does your insurance company say about the wood heat and cook top?
I have never inquired with them about it...
My mother used to rub wax paper on her hot wood stove to make it shine and protect the metal.
I have never heard of this! Sounds like a good idea though! Thanks for commenting
Hello. Just found your channel and I'm thoroughly stoked. Where can I get a coffee percolator like that and that coffee grinder is awesome! Is it still available and where can I get something like that? Oh and I've subscribed to your channel!
The percolator I purchased off eBay. There is a pile of them on there I was looking for one to match my stove. The coffee grinder was a gift from my Dad. I'm not sure where he found it. They can be found on eBay as well I do believe. Thanks for subscribing!
I’m going to still use a chicken tractor (so I can close them off at night to reduce predator loss) but I like the netting. Thing I’ll do both.
Both would probably work great. I have plans on doing a video why I chose this over the chicken tractor..... I had to scrap the whole video due to an audio problem. I will try again eventually haha. Thanks for watching!
I wanted one my entire life I'm an old-school cook
Thank you so much Dan, that was really interesting and enjoyable. I love all things old too. Just found your channel so I'll stop a while if that's okay. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂
Thank you very much for watching. Hope to find time to film some cooking on the stove this winter!
Have you considered putting the pigs up in the woods?
Most of my land is field. I do have a very thin wooded section that separates the 2 fields I own. I am planning on putting them there next year so they do not jack my pasture up so bad.
That was the most frank discussion on broilers I’ve ever watched and I’ve been researching for a while. If you watch this video, click the like button, this channel deserves exposure.
That was very nice of you. Thank you!
Thanks for the ideas. Glenn
Yes sir thanks for watching
I like seeing the young with their rooter snouts. One day soon.
Love your channel. We’ve been doing chores before and after the meat and potatoes job in the warmer months. We haven’t made the leap to keeping animals through the winter yet though. Was there a specific point in your experience where you felt like you could manage the winter months based on something you realized or picked up along the way?
We were just simply obligated once we decided to raise sheep. I feel like sheep is one enterprise that can be profitable (because I don't have to buy feed) so that pushed me to begin raising them. Also, my family really enjoy eating lamb.... so that helps too haha. I want to start raising pigs earlier in the year. I'm trying to talk myself into getting them in February.
Who else out there is getting their animals moved early and then "beating feet" to their day jobs?
Your field looks like my newer pasture - fun times. Are you putting out any seed ? I put winter rye and some clover out
I will probably attempt to over seed it after I get the PH and other minerals straightened out. I feel like if I try to seed with the current condition it won't give me very good results. Were you able to straighten out your broomsedge?
BIG LIKE #10 for you! Interesting content my FRIEND!
Thank you... it was quite an experience. Coincidentally I just put the Ram in with the girls today so we can do it all over again this May! Thanks for watching
Where are you Located?
We are in Pennsylvania just across the Maryland Border.
We are up, way up in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador Canada.
@@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead Excuse my ignorance, I had to do a quick "Google" search to see where you are.... looks like beautiful country! I imagine your winters are quite brutal?
Cant beat the wood cook stove.
I love it! Thanks for watching!
Great stove. Really nice percolator too. What kind is that?
Thanks! I have no clue on the brand of percolator... I found it on an eBay auction and it matched the stove so I had to have it haha. Works great! Thanks for watching!
Where are you located?
We are South East of Pittsburgh,PA. right near the MD border
I have a Stanley errigal here in ireland it's almost identical,but it has a u9 boiler to heat 9 radiators I fire it with peat harvested from a peat bog two miles away in the summer it does cooking baking boiling water the lot.
Subscribed. We are working on a few lines of Dorper and Katahdin sheep as well as crosses
Thanks for the Sub! Love raising sheep, however they have definitely been the most challenging of our livestock.... Best regards from PA
Nice Stove! Will that run on coal as well?
It can run on coal but there are different grates you are supposed to purchase and install that are designed for a coal fire. Thanks for watching!
You be better using coal and timber together because the coal temperature is very high. From Ireland. We would use a bit of coal with timber especially if we are cooking. And before going to bed just to keep the cottage warm. Because these cottages are made of stone. Iove my Stanley
