@@Sam-shuttThe nearest I got to a black sheep was one with a large black patch. Sounds like you want to breed some if you are thinking abut a black tup,
Take the sheep that has lost their lambs if you can’t draft on a new one. Put them in pens and lock them in place, and you got natural feeders for your pet lambs 💪🏻 And your man should be glad that he found a stronger women then him self. He can start with talking to you with some respect ☺️ keep up the good job. Best regards from Sweden!
I wanted to say the same, but didn’t know how to put it respectfully. A grumpy old man while he’s still young. I like your advice with the milk arrangement. One year I had some lamb-less ewes and no spare lambs, I lined them up in head yokes and milked them to make yogurt, your idea never occurred to me though.
Charlotte Ashley has got a machine on hire for a month or so that heats up some water and then mixes the right amount of milk powder and has got several tubes that go to teats that you can strap on to a hurdle or gate bar for feeding pet lambs.......works well i think.....i think she said it was £250 to hire it . That's a good sheepdog you got......love watching a good dog working the sheep
I got a teat panel and some tubing from the agritrader and rigged up a large bucket with holes drilled in the lid. I had a second bucket inside with the milk replacer. I found there was no need to keep the milk warm, that way it didn’t ferment and the lambs didn’ pig out. Very liberating. Your sheep all look so clean and tidy. Would waterproof dungarees in the lambing shed save on the washing. I liked to be able to just hose myself down. I was interested to see how the Herdwick x turned out. 👍
been a few days i have been out taking my photos and been long days but not as long as you guys, or as hard work. glad to see you are having more success with the lambs hope you got to cash in on the ramadan price rise. keep up the great work the one over riding fact since i started watching your channel the weather up there is more than a bit crap, hope the finances work out for you guys you deserve some luck
How about a cd player or even an old tape player for outside Sam. Long hard days and graft but worth it I need to find me a farmer as a husband I think haha, your hubby is lucky to have you.
The quads all look strong. The weather here in NE Scotland was reasonable today but rain and wind is coming in again overnight and all day tomorrow. Paying bills is important...you will end up being denied credit by main suppliers, utility companies etc , which is bad !
Yes, I think its same, think wed is bad for us and rest of week. Yes nice to tickle some off as we go along but nothing is there to give them 🤣🤣 always the same 🤣
Hi sam.would u not sell some of them suck lambs.a bag of powder milk wont last long with that amount of lambs and the price of it.hopefuly ye will cash in on the hoggs when u sell them.bills are the story of our lives.great video.love these long videos.take care and all the best.greetings from ireland

Bringing in the sheep, well done! When you say hogs I think of pigs 😅

Great video Sam as always I thought them swales sheep were a hardy breed did Oliver say they were soft 👌
Yep, very soft. Not as hard as they used to be ! And there not worth anything
Try a mineral bucket with teats in u can tip in top and can feed few at a time
Yes might try!

Why can't you get radio via internet and put a speaker in the lambing shed ?
Internet doesn't reach outside only outside the window were the box is 🤣🤣🙄
