    In this video, I take you through a challenging and frustrating evening of sheep gathering that went completely wrong. As I set out to round up the flock, I quickly found myself battling terrible weather, rising rivers, and bad luck at every turn. Things went from bad to worse when I lost sight of my dog, and to top it off, I accidentally injured a lamb. Stubbornly, I tried to push through on my own, despite the worsening conditions, and paid the price for it.
    The next day, with more hands on deck and better weather, we headed back to finish the job. The difference was night and day-what was a nightmare solo turned into a smooth and successful operation with help. It was a tough lesson learned: sometimes, it’s better to wait for the right conditions and get the support you need rather than push through on your own.
    If you’ve ever faced challenges in the field or want to see the ups and downs of farm life, this video is for you.

    Lots of benefits to not letting the sheep have full access to that paddock at the start. You'll get more time on each area of ground and if you dont let them back on the grazed bog you'll have grass coming back. The more paddocks the better!

    Oh Karl that is a heartbreaker about the lamb but hindsight is 20/20

    I didn't fully appreciate how much of a difference a good sheepdog makes until I visited you. Úna (my NZ Heading Dog) is getting there now, but I still have moments where she's more harmful than helpful.

    About the eyelid inspection, no blood vessels or no pink colored eyelids is also an indicator of Haemonchus or Nematodirus infection. These and the flukes suck blood or cause internal blood loss.

    Awful annoying losing a lamb like that. Happens from time to time. We lost a hogget this year, she went head first into a gate. Killed on the spot

    bugger that lamb injured itself but it will not go to waste dinner for one family on the farm for the next few months - as kids we only ever got mutton so lambs a bit plain for me - Sometimes running the young dogs for 15-20 mins beside a quad bike before you start the work day just takes the edge off and gives the ability to think and listen - when they are not listening and doing their own thing and you scream at them (I know this from being on the farm) "you f...ken mongrel do what you are f...ken told" - when you are finished you give them a pat tell them how good they are and take them home for their dinner
