  • Join us at Sheep School where every day with sheep is a school day! This weekend, watch as I, a new farmer, navigate the busy lambing season solo-well, almost solo! My daughters Ada and Enya step in as my little helpers, feeding the pet lambs and getting hands-on with farm life.
    In this heartwarming episode, we face the joys and challenges of farm life. From the messy feeding frenzy with lambs to heartfelt discussions about life and death, there's never a dull moment. We also share a tender moment as we honor the cycle of life, burying a small bird that the girls found in the garden.
    Experience the laughter and love of a family farm as I discuss how underappreciated I am before my wife, Orlaith, heads out for a night away. It's a blend of humor, family bonding, and real-life farm experiences that you won't want to miss.
    Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more daily adventures from Sheep School. Every day is a school day with our sheep, and we love sharing our learning journey with you!
    Thanks for watching, see you next time...

    You have a lovely family David. I always think the greatest gift you can give young children is your time and attention. Bless you all.

    Your sweet girls are good helpers. We have a Golden Retriever, a cat, a black bird and a hamster buried at the bottom of our yard. It is a good life lesson for the children. Your wife is beautiful an need not be shy about the camera. You have a lovely family.

    Those girls are just the cutest - as a kid on the farm depending on what we got up, to would get hosed down on the lawn especially if it was rotten egg fights or something equally discusting - cloths would have to go into the washer on the way past to the shower - she would just roll her eyes at us and laugh

    You are a very loving and kind dad David.Your girls are learning lots and of course showing them life and death on the farm is a real part of life. They both worked hard for you without even realising they were. You are doing great at the fostering, that little tiny lamb has a ways to go but I’m sure you looking out for hi he will get there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Daddy, the bird is a house sparrow. Great to see your two lovely girls taking an interest. We have so much glass for the birds to crash into. The male birds often believe they have another male rival on their territory. We had fun watching a bullfinch family nesting in a yew tree near our house until the male committed hari kari on the back door window. I used to go for Texel rams with narrower heads even though they were not top conformation. Less trouble, more easy births. I also adopted a split feeding policy. It also makes an opportunity to observe the sheep.

    Where did you get them adoption gates where the lamb can walk around to the head of the ewe? Great idea as most keep the ewes head outside and then she can't get used to the smell of the lambs.

    After watching your video, I think your sheep are well raised. Our company produces solid-liquid separators that can convert animal manure into fertilizer for crop fertilization. If you use fertilizer for grassland maintenance, you can achieve maximum resource utilization. We hope you will carefully consider our suggestion.😄

    Hello David, I just found your page and have a question. I have 2 sheeps (both 2 years old) which are not getting in heat. One gave last birth on Febuary 2023 and the other on September 2023. Why does this happen and what can I do?
    Love your videos, Thanks for teaching us.

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much ☺️
      I've had problems with s few sheep not coming into heat. Can be caused by them being way over weight or sometimes my scanner will say they don't look right inside possibly caused by a uterine infection from the previous lambing. Sheep are not simple...
