Give me that second breed any day. Love this woman's accent!
Excellent hello from Uzbekistan 😊❤😊
lovely!
We are couple seeking for a job grown-up in the village and hard work i can work under pressure and can adapt to any conditioni hope to hear from you soon .thank you
I prefer fattier lamb. In the Middle East and Asia the fattier lambs are more desirable
How does the lamb fair out if you cross them?
Nice
this is what i need to do
Personally I'd prefer a bit more fat than we usually get, I cycle everywhere
I'm not intrested by the lamb right now my attention has been diverted
Are these , pure sheep breed and not crossed with Pig?
Conservation of a landscape that has been artificially drained, cleared of trees, and scalped of grass?
Nothing new in that , that's been happening for thousands of years . The alternative is starvation , dimwit.
Is a beaver pond unnatural? Is it unnatural when a bird uses a tool? This landscape was cleared over a thousand years ago by primate hands using simple tools. By your logic the only natural thing to do with opposable thumbs is swing from tree branches..
@@dcg1976 Lol your logic is so incredibly flawed. Was land drained a thousand years ago? No. Are artificial stocking levels that strip the land introduced a thousand years ago? No. Is brush and heather burned and cleared to maintain grassland, yes.
@@EP-bb1rm This girl is raising sheep on pasture in a rotational system somewhere in the UK. Are you holding her responsible for every destructive agricultural practice any human being has ever engaged in anywhere? You're being a little harsh, don't you think?
But back to the point at hand. Just because something is destructive doesn't mean it's unnatural. A given practice at a specific time and/or place may be irresponsible or unsustainable, sure. Other practices, such as what she's doing, are sustainable and responsible forms of agriculture.
All of Britania was effectively clear cut (80%) by 1100 AD; that's a thousand years if you can't do the math. Humans were installing irrigation to "drain" land and redistribute water in modern day Iran by 4000 BC. Slash and Burn dates back to prehistory. The Egyptians were making sillage by 1500 BC, to maintain "unnatural stocking densities."
Agriculture is our nature as a species, it's our version of a beaver dam, termite mound, ant colony, prariedog town, etc. There are sustainable and unsustainable means of agriculture but they are all natural by the mere fact we are part of nature and it is what we do.
Since they've been managing sheep the same way in the UK for nearly 2000 years its obviously sustainable. There's no need to be a condescending twat towards this young lady.
@@dcg1976 Thousands of years ago we weren't grazing livestock with the same intensity. We weren't using wire fences to seperate livestock. We weren't artificially managing the species grown on pasture for maximum productivity (much of which has happened since the 60s).
Quite a poor grasp of history you have there, seems your English language resorts to insults too. Perhaps the pre-history is your niche?
