This video dives into the day-to-day decisions and challenges of sheep farming.
It starts with a call from a local farmer worried about sheep making a mess. After setting up temporary fencing to prepare for a move, I discover there’s still plenty of grass left and manage to persuade him to let the sheep stay a little longer.
The risk of liver fluke is high this season due to ideal conditions, and hearing about a neighbor losing four sheep has me on edge. I discuss the precautions we’re taking to protect the flock.
Robbie and I head to another field where sheep have turned lush grass into a mud bath in just a week. We move them to fresh pastures, secure the area with temporary fencing, and I address some quad bike issues that desperately need attention.
Later, a neighboring farmer drops by to borrow a headstock for a ewe struggling to bond with her lamb-a chance for me to share a quick plug about my product!
A few days later, on a frosty morning, it’s time to move the lambs to the final field of grass while multitasking with the drone and the GoPro.
It’s all in a week’s work-mud, frost, and everything in between!
Thanks for watching, see you next time...
