The drone footage was great. Looks like a beautiful island. We can learn about sheep, and take a lovely tour of Rural Scotland. Tease Sean a bit for me about being Scotland's fittest farmer in 2019. lol

    You are right about it being a better way to see an area rather than tourism, but a highlight of one Scottish holiday was stopping at the roadside to watch a hill gather with dogs coming from all directions. I had no idea at the time that I would become a sheep fan and shepherd one day.

    Looks very much like the island where my mother was from, she was born On Fogo Island, which is an island off the coast of the Island of Newfoundland in Canada 🇨🇦. So yes she is from an island off an island and my grandparents and relatives all had sheep and the sheep were like free range. My grandfather and uncles were fishermen like everyone else on that island. Every family had sheep. They would roam everywhere that was t fenced off as a vegetable garden with your root vegetables. Those sheep would make themselves scare from the village and green spaces in the daytime, they would be out close to the cliffs in pastureland and in the evening and night meander throughout the villages then at dawn take off for the hills to the pastureland and close to cliffs. Then there’d be sheep 🐑 shit💩 everywhere.

    If you cross Blue Faced Leicester on Leicester Longwools you will get a sheep that must be sheared twice per year and gives 12Kg wool per year and sheep for meat that top out at 110kg at 8 months. They take a wee bit longer to mature for breeding and they eat more but the crossed mules will get Rams-180+kg and Ewes-120-140kg. The advantage is up to 60% meat to entrail on carcass, huge leg, shoulder and hip, enormous back filets and stomach bacon that tastes just like cured pork bacon (when cured). The meat is so delicate and sweet that you hardly know you’re eating lamb! At 4 years old it is as tender as a normal 6 month old. You should get a few and try the mix. You will be amazed!

    Ok, EAGLES. I thought you were talking about SEAGULLS (scurries). I'd heard they could get rather massive in Aberdeen, but trying to carry off a lamb? Usually I see them fighting over McDonald's.

      Ah - and huntaways. I was thinking they looked awfully "houndy" but then when they walked on the backs of the sheep I thought maybe they were something more "down under" than Scottish.

    Finished the lot! Great 2 party! One thing I’ve learned from heavy equipment is that everything from man to machine is subject to gravity, entropy and decline. It’s a good lot that sheep keep us young! I’ll watch to see if you’re shearing 300 sheep per day when you’re 60 with both artificial knee joints and a computerized neuonet implant up your spine! I hire guys like you but there really hard to find in the ‘colonies’. The government pushes kids into uni for white collar jobs and no one wants to work for a living.

    • @TheSheepGame

      Thanks! I’m hoping i don’t need to be shearing at 60 😂. I have bad knees from years of road running so no doubt there will be a couple new knees needed in the future. I get a buzz off the challenge of it all😁

      @@TheSheepGame better you than me mate! I researched it a few decades back when it wss looking like I'd have *zero to no choice*, but then fate DID give me another option!(phew!) The thought of having those bones sawn off and the artificial joints pounded into the ends...then the lay up time and *rehab*... it was ALL the time off that was the real drawback for me. A bit of pain I can handle, but 3 *months* without any income? More than I could afford at that point. Even now, looking back, no closer to seeing an angle to wangle.

      Orkney has it’s own livestock mart as they have around 30,000 cattle on the island. These boys do use the same market as me (Lanark) for a lot of their sheep. And i’m 300 miles away.!
