Border on Lleyn an interesting cross, the Border on Welsh mountain producing the Welsh Half Bred was very popular at one time, until the Border giving way to the Blue Faced Leicester, looking forward to the results.
Does bunny tup #1 have a name? If you told us at purchase, I forgot. It's so great to see how comfortable you are, Will, with the assembly/dismantling of the electric fencing. I remember when you first purchased it and struggled with the poles and wires.
@CowleyHillFarm Willie haha? 🤣🤣 Don't know if willie can mean the same thing in Britain as it does in the US, but that's hysterical. I also watch a US goat channel that has a tup/ram named Pokey. 🤭
Will, thank you for sharing your experience with the new grazing system. You never know until you try new things. I'm also interested in your Border x Llynn experiment. (Apologies for and sheep breed misspelling!)
What is the life cycle length of the sheep worm parasite or any parasitic like fluke, etc. I was thinking that in a rotational system if the rotation is longer than the life cycles then those parasites cannot be in place to be re ingested back into the host. Of course the exact same rotation area would have to be applied but most grazing animals have a toleration threshold which should compliment the system with not much ground overlap. Any sense in this.?
The problem is it varies so much according to the weather. It's not straight forward at all. Being able to move lambs on to new reseeds and silage aftermaths as well as getting them fairly clean before weaning is the key. Rotational grazing can as Will found make worm damage worse by concentrating the dung and giving a huge flush of worms to come back to.
Hahahaha what you saying Soph?? I did just hear right didn’t I?? He’s putting some of his ewes to “one of those problematic bunny things” 😉 I’d say that’s Soph 1 Will 0 😂
Really appreciate hearing about your grazing and paddock system, thanks!
I love y’all’s outlook and ability to try new things!! I wish all who viewed would leave a like or comment.
Thank you!!
You are a good young man.
Thank you
Another interesting and informative video
😃😃👍 👍 ❤️❤️🤩🤩

Will be interesting!!
Will at 4:19, what are the buildings behind you? They look beautiful! The doors are incredible!
It’s the horse stables and we have a little room we use to host events in 😊
Great video!
I like your grazing system. Tweak it as needed but certainly a good observation regarding the worm count monitoring. GRT video.
Thank you
Mabi a virtual map to help plan and set up for the next season to maximise grazing area
We actually do that 😊 very helpful

We are well thank you.

Total sense, although unfortunately they can vary depending on weather. Older sheep do get a tolerance though 😊
