SHEARING TAILS BEFORE LAMBING!

- Here is another video! Long overdue!! This time we were back with our friend James and we are clipping ewes tails prior to lambing.
Although the sound quality isn’t great i discuss why we are doing this and the benefits.
Also get a look at James’ ewes which were in great form and only a couple weeks off the lambing!!
Your truck looks just like my husband's truck. He is always loaded with the tools of his trade. Thanks for another great video!
You can retain the information or message me and call me a fanny 😂😂😂😂 lol. Had me laughing 👍👍
CC is hilarious 😂🤣 it says you are dipping them in diesel, lol 🤣🤣. I can't stop laughing cause when you said you were not a skilled shearer it came out as you are not a skilled cheetah... 😂🤣
That’s cause he speaks with a damn potato in his mouth, no seriously one of my best mates has this accent and got no issue…but this guy? SMFH. I also tried turning on CCs to see if I couldn’t understand him better but alas, ain’t just me, even CCs can’t figure it out 😂 which is too bad TBH, I routinely drift off and turn off his videos because it’s incoherent mumbling, for the first handful of videos? I thought his name was Carnie, cause the dude can’t even pronounce his own name properly 🤦🏼♂️
Those sheep look fair braw Cammy...give my love to Lizzy and wee Jock from Perth💌😁✨
I've never watched you with subtitles before 😂 I now need to rewind to see if you did say you wanted to support James nesbitt 🤔 oh yeah... But it's not the James nesbitt I'm thinking of 😂
Those were some beautiful sheep. Looked like big fluff balls. ❤️
Congrats. I see t😊hose numbers moving. 200.000 subscribers. Good for you.
Thank you for the video! Is it just me or is your truck much neater now that Lizzy is in your life? My car looked like that, when I had a car. You seem like you have a really nice community. Love thee song. Skipinnish Is it? I'm a child of the '80s. I love Big Country!
Yeah that’s the tune! It might be cleaner inside but it has a lot more bashes on the painwork!🤣
@@TheSheepGame Awww. Those are just honorable battle scars. :)
I have to say Cammy I thought my husband's truck was messy but you've got him beat .How do you find anything .
Awesome! Love your work. Why do you clip the top of the tail? I understand why you clip the bottom and legs. Does the the top get manure on it too?
Donna Spear start at the top and clear the whole tail. Stops them getting dirty with dung or after birth fluids following lambing. Also makes it a bit easier to see what’s happening whilst lambing however that isn’t so applicable in these tight skinned sheep. It would be very beneficial in blackface sheep who have more wool on the tail. You wouldn’t want to do them at this time of year tho as it’s too cold.
You're going to have a cross-breed between a Nissan and an Isuzu!😂
Put them across the board, take the belly off, or half if you want, makes it easier for the lamb to get a drink, and keeps the belly wool clean, and out of the mud
I was surprised that the sheep went through the water. My understanding was that they saw it as a hole, so they would not cross it.
Lots of rocks in those pens. To help with mud maybe?
So here I am....alll subscribed up and sheep fannied....so the big question remains: “is Cameron HAPPY?😀. Just a question..”Do you ever feel even a little odd about being a sheep pimp?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
any years aog. We called Preping be for delivery 1940 ..
Who singing that song
Do you not call it crutching? Thats what it is called in Australia :)
Ashlea Isabella yeah we would but trying to use terms everyone will understand😊. Are you in Oz?
The Sheep Game oh ok! yes I am from Australia!
@@TheSheepGame Funny, we call it dagging on the 'real' west of Scotland ;) lol
CollCrofter we call it dagging too here in the midlands haha, probably cus my grandad used to call it that
Crotching maybe...the accents will sound different.
so i have seen Joanna from farm dale do the foot things but yet here in Canada Sandi Brock doesnt what is it for and whats in it ???
Sandy Brock’s sheep operation is a little different, because she has everything indoors under over year round, and her sheep stand on straw bedding. Sandi’s sheep are mostly the Rideau Alcott breed, developed in Canada specifically for Canadian conditions and also for being excellent mothers capable of delivering triplets, quads, and even quintuplets. Sandi normally will trim hooves about the same time each group gets shorn while they are pregnant, so the lambs will have easier access to nurse. The typical foot bath solution is really important for preventing hoof rot; as these sheep are outdoors in Scotland’s wet weather, it does make sense to treat them periodically with a foot bath, to prevent infections. It varies, but one typical ingredient in many foot baths, is formalin. Needless to say, it’s not the kind of liquid you want all over your own skin - or want sheep standing in for an extended period of time.
@@patpierce4854 ty hun if i dont ask i dont learn and yes i live about 45 minute drive from Sandi the coyotes are over bred near her she has seen them right by the barn when she had the couple cows it scared her one for sure lol ty hugsssss
@@patpierce4854 formalin. is that like the stuff for the dead ?? formaldehyde ?
so orange are prego and blues are ??? and the red ??
In this flock, the farmer put all his rams into a “raddle harness”, which has a holder for a block of pigment. Whenever the ram mates a ewe, his chest rubs on her bum - and he transfers some of the color from the block onto her bum. After about 10 days, the farmer changed the color of the raddle crayon - in this case, from orange to blue. (Not sure about the red though). What that does, is let the farmer see at a glance, which of his ewes will be delivering their lambs first - in this case, the ones with orange bums. If the first breeding didn’t take, a ewe will likely be mated on her next cycle - and she will get blue marking on her bum, on top of the earlier orange. It’s a useful management strategy; imagine you have a lambing shed that can hold 30 ewes and their newborn lambs. But you have a flock of 60 sheep. If you wanted to potentially help the ewes who would be delivering their lambs first, you would bring in all the orange ones, and leave the blue ones til later. In essence, all the orange ewes with their new lambs, would be bonded and ready to go back to the outside fields before any of the blue ones were ready to lamb.
Hi, what shears so you use? We are looking to purchase a cordless one, many thanks :)
Hi Caryl. I use the Razor shears. There is a link to them in the description of my latest video😁
The Sheep Game great thank you so much
Handpiece is what it's called .
What cuts the wool attached to the handpiece , the blades are called comb and cutter .The bigger wider one is called a comb and smaller one is a cutter as it cuts the wool .
How long did it take to clip the ewes .
Sam Goodman about an hour mate. It’s a pretty quick job. I had other shearing / scanning jobs on that day so was pushing on whilst messing about with camera.
What was that, dirty back ends ? Odd place to keep your filing cabinet. All that orange, been tango'd.
Just helps them stay clean after lambing and you’re right about the pickup it”s a hellish state.
Enjoyed
re run.... beautiful morning and glad to belong again. granny90
Please one video of your farm
Have you ever considered building a ramp and a platform to elevate the sheep. This way you can do the job without bending over , it’ll save your back.
We do that at dog shows for the dogs.
its been a shit new year without mum. sis likes to be free on the fells away from work.
What bit of Scotland are u from and are u from a farming background
Logan Russell Ayrshire. Yes mate i’m a shepherd’s son.
cut to your 3rd knuckle dont cut bone, dip for dags rubber castration bands for the lads to mart. vitamin dose we do this with 4wds mobile pens Quads and dogs when they are lambs.
