Like others have said,i really look forward to seeing a notification from you.its just class content.thanks for all the effort you put in to ensure we have something to watch.thanks.
Lucky Robbie's there to climb that hill for you and Pops does a nice job, considering she's your first border collie. Most people haven't a clue how to train a BC; good advice for new shepherds is to buy a dog that's already trained by a well-respected dog man/woman and take some lessons with that trainer. It's more expensive, but saves a person a lot of headaches and also saves a pup from being ruined. Maybe get your girls to run a slicker or furminator through your old St Bernard and spruce it up for Christmas.
Great videos. I do be looking forward to the next one coming out. Heres a question for ya, i know your trying a Texel ram on 10 ewes as a trial, How would a beltex ram cross back on a Liyne ewe do you think? Or have you heard from other breeders? Thank you and Happy Christas.
I think beltex would produce shapely lambs but might lack size as neither Lleyn or Beltex are overly big sheep. Plenty of farmers crossing Lleyns with Charollais rams for factory lambs. Can be a little bare at lambing but weight well. Might try them next year. We'll see how the texel cross goes first.... Good luck..👌
BEAUTIFUL flock of lambs Im starting up with sheep ive worked on my uncles farm he passed away and all farm livestock sold 200 texels exes and 10 rams texels. What advice you would give me in best sheep for beginners
Hi Colin, Sorry to hear about your uncle. Great to hear you're continuing the farmer! Pick an easy managed breed to start with and don't buy expensive sheep to start out with. There is so much to learn, best doing it on less expensive stock. Good luck 👍
Brilliant as usual, loving the craic with Robbie! It’s plain to see you love the sheep even though they’d give you grey hairs at times. I started my own small flock of easycare sheep last year and have 10ewe lambs hopefully yeaning next march all going well. Love the content David, learning loads so thanks for sharing. Mind yourself and the ankle.
I hope your ankle heals up quickly. Great that you have Pups and Robbie to help you.
Thanks so much 🤗
Great video David there’s some work with them alright but like you said it’s enjoyable 💪👌
Thanks Gary. If ya enjoy it that much, it's not really work 👍
Great video. Really appreciate you and all the others that take the time to actually film and share. I always look forward to seeing your next post.👌🐑
Thank you, appreciate that 👌
You have to remember....better craic = better Content.😆

The man is built for hardship 🤣

You have a nice system on your farm. Almost 10k subscribers!
Thank you 👍
Almost there...
Lovely views of Croagh Patrick from that new field.
Robbie is welcome in Mayo anytime ..
Raining here rentlessly also ..
🤣
Tough conditions for the sheep!
Still no curses I hadent heard before.
I'm not sure I'd be able to do what the average sheep farmer does lol. Nice work.
I try to keep things as easy as possible. Plenty of hardship farming without looking for it...

Great stuff. Robbie is the MAN. The old dog for the hard road!!!
Thanks 👍. He's a tough one!
@@sheepschool365 He'd have to be to stick the way you work him! 😉 Well done Buddy, keep the great content coming.
Honest. Like this, from the South East of U.K where it's easier but still muddy.
Wait until you see the latest video. Real mud 🫣
Ewe lambs always difficult to know to keep or sell
Thinking moving back.from new York city.have 45.acres thire.going start sheep.farming what think good move good see ya back action
Sheep will never make you rich but great way of life. Good luck with your plans 👌

Ewe lambs would give ya a grey hair or 2 !!!
looks like you need a bigger stock trailer. I know
Definitely. The Toyota would comfortably pull a 16ft with decks. Some day ...🙏
16ft would be some job! Is that a 4.2L Toyota?
Yes. 4.2l turbo. Be well fit for it...
Why do u keep so many ewe lambs
All kept for breeding hoggets to sell next Autumn. Will need to sell more as lambs moving forward I think!
