    Sean, I know it takes a lot of time to film and edit your videos. Thank you for making the effort to give the world a glimpse of how hard it is to be a small farmer.

    All's right with the world when I'm watching Seanthesheepman. Whether he is explaining farming practices or just showing his dogs running through the Scottish hills, his videos make troubles of the world fade away. I always end up feeling better after watching this sweet man and his calm approach to life. As much as I love the appearance of a snowy landscape, it's much nicer to see it from the comfort of my warm house. Best to Sean, Stacey, Kole and all the critters!

    Dairy farmer in Switzerland : a farmer's greatest enemy is not the weather, are not the long hours (although those can be tough!). Greatest enemies are government administration (that changes it's rules every year) and, let's face it, people (well intentioned or not) who think they know how to farm (yet could not last a week of early morning/late night birthing etc.) of animal farmer's life! Keep up the good work, Sean!! It's the best job in the world!!!

      This should make the Labour Party realise how committed and necessary our farmers are. I grew up in a farming community in Hertfordshire in the 1940s so appreciate all our farming community do. Love the way the animals react to Sean calling them - and his patience in the awful weather conditions.

    Echo says you feed the cattle, Daddo, and I'll keep the folks at home entertained with my running back and forth! Then when he was sitting in the ATV he was doing his best to give the camera his weather resistant pose! What a hoot it was to watch your sheep run toward you when you called them! Always nice to see those two gorgeous girls, Storm and Kate, even if for just a short stint! Love anything and everything you decide to video. Really appreciate your explanations of how things work on the farm. It's not easy being out in the snow, but it sure does look beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing! 💜

    Oh man…our beloved doggie Baxter loves, loves loves the cold and snow. I had to up my anti to go outside and walk and play with him. I bought snow pants, a heated jacket and a long coat. Now I can spend an hour outside playing, walking and using our bazooka to play fetch. He’ll run and play ball all day long, and I stay warm for hours! The longest I stayed outside playing was 3 hours in 18 degrees F. I never got cold and he got the exercise needed. And yes, he wore a sweater vest and I checked his paws. We did take breaks going in and out of home to check his paws…♥️ Baxter loves the winter. Me, us, not so much. But I can now play in winter, just like it’s summertime..🐕🌧️☃️ Merry Christmas dear, to you and your beautiful family 🎄🎅🏻🎄

    Sean, making a calendar of the dogs and their working life all year long could be a great gift and merchandise option for helping to support your dogs. I would put it on my wish list!!! That is some freezing Scottish weather. Lots of snow that was sleet first but turned to heavier wet real snow, that melts quickly, unless it gets really freezing cold when the snow sticks around. Kate lead the way for awhile ahead of Storm. If Echo had been with her, skate wouldn’t have been able to keep up, but no matter, Kate is a remarkable dog and her traits carry on well into Storm and grandson, Echo! Sending you all lots of appreciation and love in beautiful, freezing Scotland. Stay warm and safe! Send us a snapshots of baby with Mama and Dada! At the same time, keep your baby’s face covered. You never know who may be thinking negative thoughts. Peace, Hugs, Love and Blessings from, LA, California!

    Ah Sean! I can't tell you how much I admire what a hard worker you are. We have always been country folk. Folk that live in cities (here on the mountain we can them pavement dwellers) they don't have a clue the hard work of farming & livestock. Also, they don't know that when winter comes it is twice as hard. From opening gates and barn doors that are surrounded by deep snow 😯 - sometimes just getting TOO the barns or fields etc. We live in the Rocky Mountains @ 3500'. last week we received 15" of snow. Patriot, our Border Collie, LOVES the snow. She gets squirrely and spins donuts. Leaps through the deep snow. Chases snow balls and every shovel full of dug snow! So, Sean darlin, we KNOW your work and how hard it is. We feel you have found your "niche" in life. Great job darlin! Keep up the GOOD work. Hugs to you and yours from the Rocky Mountains of the Great NW.

    When i lived in a part of California with regular winter snow, we always loved it in November and December and by February we were ready to be finished!

    I live in Minnesota USA and understand being out in the snow. Blessings to you for your hard work.

    I enjoyed watching the sheep come toward you like trained dogs. Great video.

    I’m a couple of days late watching this- I live in Sydney Australia and it was 35* today- it’s not even summer! The dogs are all brilliant and the snow is beautiful.
